Chances of catching Herpes by only kissing someone once?

Need some serious advice here please. Say you kissed multiple people for around a minute, others for around 30 seconds, how likely is it to catch Herpes say compared to you were kissing someone all night. Really worried. Also, any tips of getting over this intense phobia? I get drunk and make mistakes that I wouldn't do sober.

It's fine, it's silly for me to go on a forum that's not based on anxiety and expect someone to understand. However for future advice, to tell someone who is battling with their mind every day and has to push themselves to perform even the smallest things, to "get a grip" is very disheartening. Thank you for your advice and for listening, I wish you luck too. If I post on this forum again, please don't comment as it really won't be helpful for any of us.

That was my genuine advice. The odds are low but obviously increase with multiple partners. I didn't nean to come across insensitive but you keep asking the same questions. And yes no one can answer your question with any confidence. The questions i asked you should've put that into perspective.
When i said get a grip. I meant it. I know you just can't control your phobia but you need to get the help you need from a mental health professional so you can live without this irrational fear causing you so much anxiety. I wish you luck

Yes it is unfortunate I have anxiety and an intense phobia of this. Unfortunately, just telling someone to get a grip seriously doesn't work. Can you not reply to my posts again, quite insensitive sounding? Of course I can't answer your questions, I had no idea if they did. I just wanted some genuine advice but thanks for being so insensitive about it!

You need to get a grip. Unfortunately you keep asking the same repetitive questions over and over. No one can give you the answer tou seek. How many people? How many have oral hsv1?...etc. multiple partners are ultimately more risky. How risky? I can't say with any certainty.
