Wow let me say that am so grateful for all the input and support. You guys have been so helpful and open not only about the facts but also on your experiences. I truly appreciate everything you guys offered, all good stuff. I am still without any signs but I did find it quite intriguing what optimist mentioned. So I've had cold sores in the past when I was a teenager. And that is essentialy what Hsv1 is. You mentioned I may not even show signs as a result in having Hsv1. So I guess the only way to know for sure is to get tested. So that is what am going to do.

It's been 5 days now and I'm showing no signs. Now I read it could take up to two weeks. Now I'm pretty confident that I came in contact with her outbreak. I will keep you posted on what I find out.

Thanks for the support and advice your input is greatly appreciated. If it happens it happens I know what I will need to do both medically and consciously. From my understanding this is a pretty common occurance in our society. Unfortunately most won't admit they have something and put others at risk. I know that I will be forthcoming and honest to the next girl I meet say this relationship don't work. Thanks

So my partner informed me about her hsv 2, and we have been intimate since then. I've since educated myself on the matter. It doesn't bother me because I really like her and care a lot about her. Last night we got intimate again (protected sex) she has a mild out break one spot to be exact. Mid way through we ended up having un protected sex. Bad judgment possibility because we were really drunk. Now I'm concerned that I am without a doubt going to contract hsv 2. Apart of me don't really mind because our bond seems to be growing very strong. I feel I would be happy with this girl for the rest of my life. I can't speak the same for her though. She's definitely head over heels for me though, so that's a good thing. On the other hand if it don't work out I feel like a took a risk for nothing. I know this sounds like some crazy reasoning having the unprotected sex during an outbreak. So my question is what is the likelihood that I will contract the virus? Are the any scientific studies that show transmission rates during an outbreak? Thank you for listening and any responses.
