Reply To: Oral hsv 2 – terri please

[Clarification114]

Protected genital brief and no symptoms down there (genitals)

You said above that you would revise how you review the situation if I explained exposure etc better. Basically I’m in committed relationship. No herpes. Stupidly visited ts escort largely unprotected oral / rimming. Small amount of protected insertive anal. Days after I get herpetic lesion on tongue. Swabbed and pos for type two. No genital symptoms what so ever. So essentially an oral only infection from a one off contact. Should have made this clear in original email. Apols. I thought I got two questions after original one. I have not yet asked another question?

Given the nature of exposure and symptoms can we assume it is oral only.

1) is it as difficult to tfr to gf via kissing as it is to catch it orally from genital contact (less likely than hsv1 oral to oral transmission) – essentially what are the chances based on low recurring outbreak rate and low shedding. I read most oral 2 never recur or maybe only once or twice in lifetime on average.

2) now that I have it orally does this give myself immunity from catching it genitally or transferring it to genitals. Eg from urinating or masturbating after touching mouth etc whilst virus present? (Weird concept but just covering bases)

Very sorry for coming across rude I really appreciate your time and responses.
