Chances of acquiring hsv1 and hsv2 together

Chances of acquiring hsv1 and hsv2 together

What is the chance that one acquires both hsv-1 and hsv-2 together if they have sex with someone who is positive for both? I had lesion culture during my first outbreak and the result was positive for hsv-1. This happened a couple of months ago and I didn't get my blood work done yet. The woman I acquired it from refuses to test for anything and I am not sure if she also had hsv-2.

So, I am just curious if I have a possibility of having acquired both types in one shot!

In otherwise immunocompetent folks - the chances of having both hsv1 and hsv2 genitally is less than 5%.  Most folks only have one orally and the other genitally.
