It's highly unlikely, but it has been known to happen. Usually this would be due to autoinnoculation. If you have oral herpes, and touched a sore and then your genitals, thus infecting a new area. Auto-innoculation usually will only happen within the first year of having the virus, because your antibodies haven't built up enought to prevent it yet.
