Yes, if you were previously infected with HSV-1 and then contracted HSV-2, the symptoms of a new outbreak may still be noticeable. However, since your body already has antibodies from the previous infection (HSV-1), it might provide some level of protection or reduce the severity of symptoms for an HSV-2 infection. It is essential to monitor any changes in your genital area and consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment if needed.
