Hi Terri,
I am positive hsv2 & negative hsv1 (pcr tested) since June 2021 and occasionally have mild genital OB. Never had any cold sores in my life.
Also, i started valtrex 500mg a day yesterday to avoid ob after covid vaccine (potential trigger).
Today, while feeding my 6yo son, i think i accidently dropped a drop of saliva into his food and he ate it immediately. I cant be sure but i did feel the saliva movement on my tongue, with mouth open as i held his food close to me- we were getting into a hug.
Questions
What are the chances of my 6yo getting hsv2 from this episode? In this case, its oral?
Should i be worried?
What is the right age to test?
What are the symtoms of ohsv2?I regret for not taking away the food from him immediately then. Please help to advise me Terri, thanks.

There is zero chance of transmission to your son. You should never be worried. Children should never have testing as there is a 50% false positive rate in children under 12
