Can you get herpes again in a different spot if you or your partner already have it?
What about if one of you has HSV2 and the other doesn’t — can it show up in more than one place?

In this episode of the Herpes Wellness Podcast, Cat Dupree clears up the confusion around herpes immunity and explains what really happens after your body builds antibodies for HSV1 or HSV2. You’ll learn what autoinoculation means, when it can actually happen, and why once your body has immunity, you can’t re-catch the same strain — even if your partner has an outbreak.

Cat also breaks down how skin-to-skin transmission really works, what makes one strain different from another, and how the virus reactivates along nerve pathways instead of spreading throughout your body. Whether you have genital herpes, oral herpes, or both, this episode will help you understand your body, ease unnecessary fear, and feel more confident in your relationships.

In this episode you’ll hear:

✔️ How herpes immunity works after your first outbreak

✔️ What autoinoculation actually means

✔️ Why you can’t re-catch the same strain once antibodies form

✔️ The difference between HSV1 and HSV2

✔️ How reactivation differs from reinfection

✔️ What happens in rare cases with a weakened immune system
