it's a 4% risk on average over the course of an entire year, not per sex act. Condoms reduce transmission of genital herpes by about 30-40%.
we don't have stats like that for hsv1 transmission from the oral area to the genital area.
do you know your hsv status in general? Can you recall ever having cold sores or have you been tested before to know if you have hsv1 already which would be your biggest risk from receiving oral sex?

Hi Grace
DO you know how anxious I am right now.
If i get Herpes my family life will be ruined. Thanks for your feedback it was reassuring that I may not have herpes. Do you know any websites which have stattistics on spread of herpes
I somewhere read that if a woman has herpes and if man does unprotected vaginal sex with her there is 2% chance that man will get infected with Herpes. Do you think cunnilingus and fellatio exposure are lower than this.
If i am infected do you think by this time almost 50 hrs from incidnnt I must show up some symptoms
regards and Many Thanks

it's still low risk. you've had no symptoms. it's not even worth testing unless you just need the peace of mind.

Hi Grace,
The vaginal intercourse was protected. but cunnilingus and fellatio was unprotected.
what risk i have to get infected from unprotected fellotio and cunnilingus
please answer
washing up after sex only makes you smell better. it won't decrease your std risk.
the only way to know your status is to get tested. this was protected sex so odds are you didn't pick up anything but since herpes is on your mind, get tested so you know your status.
