I have oral herpes and i had an outbreak this week. Is it possible to transfer your oral herpes to your genitals? What about someone else’s genitals?
What are the chances of contracting herpes from someone that is infected after having protected sex?

I had sex with a woman that I think is infected. I don’t know if she had an outbreak or not–at least nothing too noticible. We used a condom but I hear that doesn’t help much against herpes.
What are the chances on contracting HSV1 onto genitals during oral sex when there is NO outbreak?

My girlfriend has cold sores, but hardly had any outbreaks during her life. I was just wondering what are the chances me receiving herpes on my genitals during oral sex when she isn’t having an outbreak. And also, if there is anyone out there in long term relationships that have oral herpes and it spread to their other partner.
never had a serious outbreak but i know i am hsv2 positive.. what are the chances of me giving it to a woman when havin sex with a condom…
What was that?

I had some kind of outbreak 2yrs ago but have had nothing since then. The symptoms were similar to genital herpes but the blisters had a black center.. could it be something else? I thought it was hsv1 cuz hsv2 has several outbreaks right? I know I should see a Dr. but I need info until then.
can it cause an HSV2 outbreak if a guy ejaculates on your vagina? like pulls out and finishes on it. seems every time that happens i get outbreaks within 3 days. could one have anything to do with the other?
i also shave so the skin is bare to the ejaculation
yes this is a serious question and it was different guys all without herpes
I am a 25 year old male in excellent physical health. Recently I have been having sex with a girl, no oral for me (she did perform oral), just the basic stuff. I have only had sex with her 4 times, twice protected and twice unprotected. These were spread out over about 5 weeks. After having unprotected sex with her the first time (about 3 1/2 weeks ago) we didn’t have sex for about 2 weeks. After having unprotected sex with her for the second time (about a week and a half ago) she called me two days later and said that she had a swab test and was positive for HSV2. She thought that it was me that had given it to her. She told me that about midway between the time we had unprotected sex both times (about 2 1/2 weeks ago) she had a bump and got tested. She said that it was just one and doctor told her it was probably a very mild outbreak. I immediately went to the doctor and got a blood test which gave the results of about 4 (out of 1) positive for HSV1 and .02 (out of 1) negative for HSV2. I have never had any symptoms, either cold sores or itching/burning or anything. Here are my questions:
1. My doctor told me that swab tests cannot differentiate between HSV1 and HSV2, is this correct? The information that I found online seem to suggest otherwise.
2. If she does have HSV2, what are the chances that I got it from her in the 4 times I had sex with her?
3. What are the chances that I do have HSV2 is my blood test results showed me negative as a .02 out of 1 required for a positive?
4. Is there a chance that she doesn’t have it and the swab test was inaccurate? I told her she needed to get a blood test to confirm.
5. If you generally shed the virus during an outbreak, and her one bump healed a few days before we had unprotected sex the second time, how long was she shedding?
6. If my blood test came back negative with .02 out of 1, does this amount increase over time, and if so, would that mean that I could still have it and just have a false negative?
I have been researching online extensively, but haven’t found any answers really to these questions. I was excited when I found out I was negative, and thought because she had the swab test she probably only had HSV1, but now am starting to think otherwise and am hoping that I didn’t contract it from her.
Thanks for anyone who will take the time to answer this. You don’t have to answer anything specifically if you don’t have the time, but a general response to some of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Now I know that there are two types, HSV1 and HSV2 but I don’t know about the differences between them. I also know that it is estimated that 90% of adults have antibodies for oral herpes which means that they technically have it even if they’ve never had any symptoms. So here are my questions.
1. If the girl has oral herpes can she cause the guy to get genital herpes through oral sex?
2. If the girl and the guy both have the same type of oral herpes for example HSV2, can the guy and girl get genital herpes from oral sex?
3. If the girl and the guy both have different types of oral herpes, can the guy and girl get genital herpes from oral sex?
4. Can you get HSV1 and HSV2?
5. If you have HSV1 oral herpes, can you get HSV2 genital herpes or vice versa?
6. If you are using a condom can you still spread herpes from skin to skin contact?
7. If so many people have oral herpes, how come more people don’t have genital? I think its like 90% to 15%.
8. Is it is still easy to get genital herpes if the person does not have an outbreak?
MY FRIEND TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV2, BY A CLINIC. BUT HIS DOCTOR TOLD HIM HE IS OK, DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT. BECAUSE NEVER HAD A OUTBREAK. SHOULD HE GET A THIRD OPINION OR IS HE OK???????
