: Yes it is possible to contact it over and over again as there is believed to be different strains of it and it will be a new place for it to break out the next time it comes. So wear protection and don't have oral sex with anyone who remotely has a pimple, rash, or red spot. Check these things out with your potential partners as it is your life we are dealing with.
That's pretty much what I would have said. :)
You say you have simplex 1 on or around your penis...If you have simplex 1 and your partner gives you oral sex and contracts it orally and then transfers it back to you, as I understand it herpes can mutate as it transfers back and forth. I have no idea how true that is (in fact, I could totally be speaking out of my ass, to quote Hamlet), a doc could give you a clearer answer. There are different strains (simplex 1 and 2, and there are rumors of a third) which all act differently in the body. To second what Magie said, be careful, wear a condom to be safe, and be careful about sex if you are having an outbreak (if you choose to engage in sexual activity at all during these periods).
And just as an aside, especially since you are newly diagnosed, go to your nearest health clinic. They are totally confidential, inexpensive (charging on a sliding scale based on income), and they usually have a great deal more information about STD's (with no judgemental blahing on at you) than a generic doctor. My clinic even got me started down a homeopathic treatment path I never would have even heard about from my regular physician.
Good luck.
