Ah, got it! You're a rare 1-percenter then. 😉 The good news is if it's HSV-2, the recurrences shouldn't be as bad or as often since that's not a part of the body that HSV-2 prefers to hang out in. Here's a helpful article on that: https://herpeslife.com/hsv-1-hsv-2-types-of-herpes

Ahh good to hear! Was devastated! Since you seem to be knowledgeable I have a question. My boyfriend didn’t know he had it and I gave him oral first and then we had unprotected sex. When I discovered that it was a first outbreak in my throat we examined him and it was a single little blister under the head of his penis. Since the first exposure was my throat do you think I probably won’t get it genitally? I haven’t had any symptoms or anything weird down there and my throat is almost back to normal (never got on the meds just hoped to work through the pain etc....it’s been two weeks). I’m hoping it is only exposed to my throat!!!!! Please ease my mind if you can 😉

Are you sure that it was an actual outbreak in your throat and not just a bad sore throat that would come with a fever and first exposure to the virus? Did they happen to culture it to make sure it was an outbreak in your throat?

Yes they cultured it and it was detected! It was my first exposure.

Hey! There have been people who posted about throat outbreaks, but it's pretty rare since only 1% of all oral herpes cases are HSV-2. What were you diagnosed with HSV-1 or 2?

Well they didn’t type it but I got it from giving my boyfriend oral and he didn’t know he had it 🤦🏼‍♀️ But I’ve never had a cold sore or anything on my gums, just an extreme outbreak at the back of my throat.

[chances I spread it to my partner]

I don’t think the chances are high!

Was just diagnosed a few days ago when I had what I thought was strep throat, ended up in hospital with an 104 fever. Has anyone else had it only in the back of their throat? What an experience. Anyway. I’m just playing the waiting game hoping it doesn’t decide to appear anywhere else 😫😫. 

[Please help! Herpes in my mouth??]

I gave my boyfriend a blowjob and neither of us knew he had herpes and then two days later I had an outbreak only in my throat but it was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced I was in urgent care for 2 hours with a temp of 104!
