People who already have HSV-1 infection are not at risk of getting it again, but they are still at risk of acquiring herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) genital infection (see below).

The consistent and correct use of protected intercourse can help to prevent the spread of genital herpes. However, protected intercourse can only reduce the risk of infection, as outbreaks of genital herpes can occur in areas not covered by protected intercourse.

People who already have HSV-1 infection are not at risk of getting it again, but they are still at risk of acquiring HSV-2 genital infection (see below).

Pregnant women with symptoms of genital herpes should inform their health care providers. Preventing the acquisition of a new genital herpes infection is particularly important for women in late pregnancy, as this is when the risk for neonatal herpes is greatest.

Additional research is underway to develop more effective prevention methods against HSV infection, such as vaccines. Several candidate HSV vaccines are currently being studied.
