Auto inoculation is uncommon in persons with HSV but if it occurs, it typically occurs only at the time of
and from the site of the initial infection. As I understand it, you have HSV-1
and the lesion you describe is a recurrence, not your first outbreak. If that is so, as Teri has told you, it is very unlikely to be HSV. Furthermore, if it is, so what. it does not mean you have "more" HSV and on famciclovir, you chance of spreading it to others is close to zero.
