[Is it possible to catch HSV2 on your mouth?]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if a person already has GHSV2, what would be the likelihood or is it even possible to catch HSV2 on their mouth if that person performs oral sex on someone who has GHSV2?  
Thank you!  

[Sex triggering outbreaks?]

Hi Flowerteacher55,

thank you for your response.  Yeah, the concept of being able to pass it to your partner anytime with or without symptoms really freaks me out.  I honestly rather not even think about it.  I have had HSV2 for the past 15 yrs and to my knowledge never passed it to anyone.  So, I really hope this will be the case as well.  I’m praying that it was an outbreak brought on by sex as I had zero symptoms that morning before sex and started feeling the prodrome symptoms about 6 hours after.  Plus like I mentioned above, I was also taking Valtrex 500mg which usually helps me but this time I still got an outbreak.  Ugh… But thx again for your response.  I did want to ask you- what’s your knowledge regarding spreading the herpes?  Other than direct skin to skin contact, the chances should be pretty low, correct?

Thanks again! 

[Can I acquire HSV1 if I have GHSV2?]

So, I went to Terri Warren's question and answer forum and found the answer to my question. I was almost sure I read in her book, that I no longer have that if you only have ghvs2 you are highly unlikely to ever aquire oral or ghvs1. So, now we know lol. Thank you for responding though. If you go to her forum and pose this question in the search box, it will take you to her answering this exact question

 

 

Hi, I have a question about this please-

Let’s say- I have HSV2 genital, so this means that I should be protected from HSV1 oral? 
also, do we know whether is it possible to acquire HSV2 on your lips if you already have GHSV2 but let’s say give oral sex to your partner? And let’s say the partner doesn’t show any symptoms but has HSV2? 

[Sex triggering outbreaks?]

Hi All,

I am new to this community but have been dealing with HSV2 for about 15 yrs.  I never had an issue like this until recently where I got an outbreak literally 6 hrs after an intercourse.   I have read that sex can trigger outbreaks but now my worry is whether I passed it on to my partner.  
I am always very very careful and examine myself before having sex with a mirror.  And I was totally fine before the intercourse, no itching no bumps nothing.  In fact, I was even taking 500mg of Valtrex that I take on and off.  
So, my question is whether it is possible that while we had sex there was zero exposure because I had zero symptoms and the act of sex brought on the outbreak?  I’m really hoping that’s the case but I got freaked out by reading online that you can pass it even if u don’t show the symptoms etc. 
I hope someone can shed some light on this and offer some hope.

thank you!
