    Genital HSV2
    Hi there. I'm a female with genital HSV2 and just met a guy with genital HSV2 and Oral HSV1. We just had our first kiss and am now super paranoid. What are the chances of me contracting HSV1 from our makeout session? Also would like to know what the chances are if he performs oral sex on me. I really appreciate your response as this answer is very hard to find. Thank you.

    Yes, you can contract it as well. Chances are higher during a breakout, but still possible without.

    I really can't give you a percentage. Some are more sensitive to get it, others not so much. Your chances, though, are higher if he had a breakout.

    No, not at all. It doesn't lower the risk because your immune system is already compromised.

    It's little to worry about though. It's basically what amounts to a cold sore. A great majority of the population has them.

    Good chance.

    There are a lot of diseases that are lumped under one name. Take hepatitis A/B/C. Since they're lettered like that you would assume they're related. They're not. So having HSV2 doesn't mean you're less susceptible to getting HSV1. It is a probability game at this point. Does he have an open sore? Higher chance. Are you playing tonsil hockey? And winning? Higher chance. No break out in a long time, lower chance.

    Did he tell you before or after the make out session?
