Hello Amyjcrockett,

Yes, it is possible to be infected with both HSV1 and HSV2. Having HSV1 may possibly give some protection against infection with HSV2 but it certainly does not prevent it.

I would recommend you use appropriate protection to help reduce the risk of becoming infected.

Best wishes.
