Can you get dengue again after suffering from it once?

YES

1) If a person has suffered from one virus, there can be a repeat occurrence of dengue if a different strain is involved subsequently.

2) Being affected by one strain offers no protection against the others.

3) A person could suffer from dengue more than once in her/his lifetime.
