Reply To: Oral to Genital HSV-2 Transmission Probability

[westbrook]

Wow, that was a quick reply, thanks!

I forgot a 2 after the HSV.
My initial question was, what are the oods that someone has oral hsv-2? How many of all HSV-2 infected have oral HSV-2?

Sorry about that.

So I can be sure that I don’t contracted any HSV-2 because the risk in my encounters were very low. Is my assumption right?

I found two labs, one in the UK and one in Turkey that offer the western blot for HSV-2. That would be connected with expenses for flights and acommodation and of course for the test itself.
Should I take the western blot there just to be sure or am I exaggerating right now and my risk for transmission is in no relation to this effort in taking the western blot?
