From: alfred on 13 Jul 2008 21:29 True, because as a matter of fact, I ended up getting genital herpes type 1 when I was 27, and later genital herpes type 2 and oral herpes type 1 at the same time I got infected with the type 2 genitally. The second series of infections happened when I was about 39. Its more likely that you can get type 2 after getting type 1 then the other way around. Of course as we know with herpes there are no definites! I will say that when I got genital type one it was quite bothersome. With genital type 2 it was more frequent and more painful in terms of aching etc. The oral type one that i seemed to have gotten at 39 (unless i had it all along and it just came out then) was very mild, and I never got a cold sore aside from mild redness and tenderness on and around my lips.

Generally, when looking for a vaccine, you look for something predictable and reliable that works on as many people as possible. And although your proposal might "work" in a few cases, it could (probably) do more harm than good in many (maybe most) other cases. And there's no way to predict who would benefit and who would be harmed.
