Yes, it is possible to get HSV-2 orally if you already have HSV-2 genital. This can happen through oral sex or direct skin-to-skin contact between the mouth and genitals when active sores are present. It's important to use protection like dental dams or condoms during sexual activity to lower the risk of transmitting herpes infections from one area of your body to another or passing them on to a partner. If you're concerned about this possibility, seeking guidance from healthcare professionals for personalized advice would be beneficial in managing your condition effectively.
