Can I get genital herpes HSV-2?
Posted on Sunday, August 2nd, 2009 at 9:01 AMI have oral herpes HSV-1 and my girlfriend has genital herpes HSV-2. If we have oral sex, but not genital sex, can I get genital herpes HSV-2?
A person may contract HSV-1, HSV-2, both OR nothing at all. Oral HSV-2 is really not all that common BUT it is possible to contract Oral HSV-2. You also have to remember that you already have antibodies to Oral HSV-1 so chances of that happening are slim…just not impossible.
Have you read my HSV-1 and HSV-2 page over on my site? You might want to give that a quick glance and see if that gives you another way to look at it.
If you have more questions be sure you pop in over on the Shut Up and Post! STD Message Board. It’s free and you can probably get your questions answered a lot faster.
Don’t forget to pick up the phone and call your doctor OR your doctor’s nurse if you are still having a hard time figuring all this out.
Well, HSV1 is not likely to infect the genitals, but HSV2 can infect other sites, like lips, eyes, etc.
Although, maybe Clinton Jones, The Asshole, would disagree.
Genital herpes can cause recurrent painful genital sores in many adults, and herpes infection can be severe in people with suppressed immune systems. Regardless of severity of symptoms, genital herpes frequently causes psychological distress in people who know they are infected
