Genital HSV1 question

Rebecca

Hello all... my boyfriend gave me genital HSV1 from a cold sore on his mouth. My question is, is it possible for him to catch the same strain again on his genitals, or is there some sort of immunity because it’s the same virus he gave me existing on his mouth? I’m trying to figure out how to best protect us both
