1. If he gives me oral sex what are the chances he acquires it orally?
I’m sorry, but we don’t have that information, but I would say likely low. You should find out if he already has HSV 1 and if he does, then there is no risk.
2. If he fingers me & put his fingers in his mouth or on his penis can he get it?
extremely unlikely
3. Dry humping without undergarments?
extremely unlikely
4. How risky is unprotected sex at this point for the amount of time I have had it? And in the future for female to male?
not very risky at all – you are two years out, almost, from infection – at least.
5. Should I be taking any Anti-virals before my period to lessen these prodrome symptoms
We don’t know that these are prodromal symptoms. You should consider getting a swab test done when yo have these symptoms so you can know if the virus is active or not. I would be surprised if it was.You could take daily antivirals for a while and see if it eliminates the symptoms.
6. Is there one anti-viral that is better than the other? I heard some have a higher percentage of lessening the viral load. If so which one?
Not really -but valacyclovir 500 mg once a day is easy to dose and is very effective indeed.
7. Do my prodrome symptoms sound like prodrome ? I am trying to understand and recognize my body and how OB show up.
not necessarily only because HSV 1 genitally after two years normally doesn’t behave in this way
8. I heard GHSV1 is the most mildest and rarely has OB and has the lowest transmission, is this true?
Yes
9. How long do prodrome symptoms last?
Usually a couple of days.
10. Does prodrome symptoms mean you are shedding?
Sometimes yes, again, a swab would tell you that.
