HSV 2 oral and genital

Is it probable to get infected with hsv 2 orally and genitally during the same sexual encounter?  I had both unprotected oral and vaginal sex with a woman who claimed she was negative but I suspect is positive since she won't share test results.

I have tested low positive twice (2.95, 3.05) since the encounter 60 days ago but I'm not sure if I have had a full blown outbreak; no visible blisters or painful sores.  I'm on valtrex to give me some peace of mind.  I'm going back for another test in 30 days.

Tested again at 3 months.  Number went up to 3.67.  Calling it a day.  I don't think I'm going to bother with the confirmation testing as it's a huge hassle and none of the 3 docs are supportive of the idea.  Time to learn to live with it I guess.

You've really not had any symptoms orally or genitally. I'd stop the valtrex at this point so that it doesn't interfere with your follow up testing.  Get a herpes WB in another 2 months to help settle your low positives issue for once and for all.  

Coul dyou have it orally and genitally?  You could but odds are you would've had symptoms at least orally and you haven't so it's doubtful you have it orally and at this point you aren't even sure if you have it genitally either.
