i'm going to assume that when you say "hsv-1" you mean "oral hsv". there are actually at least seven identified viral subtypes ([livejournal.com profile] melebeth was going to write something about this at some point?) with various degrees of cross-site infections and/or shared immunities.

i filled out the above in terms of "when i don't think i'm prodromal and have no sores", which is most of the time. when i feel the slightest tingle i freak out and get abreva and valtrex and don't want to be around anyone. it used to be even more of a big deal; i've actually mellowed about it rather over the years.
