Just thinking of how i could of gotten Oral HSV-1

Good Afternoon Grace. Thanks for your help last time. I just want to know if you could catch oral herpes from receiving oral sex? One more question i confused myself about the Igg blood work. My hsv-1 oral herpes was 3.53. By given that score does that mean i had this for many years. It was my first time getting tested for herpes. Cause if i did have it for a long time i havent had a cold sore thanks to the lord. Just a pimple and i popped it and it was gone in two days without a scab. Thank you for your time Grace.

that isn't a "high" test result at all. the numeric result overall is meaningless other than being + or - or being in a range where additional testing to rule out false positives is important.

please keep all your questions in one post instead of making new ones each time as our read before posting policy on this forum asks. thank you.

I read some of your information and you said that you were hsv-1 for genital herpes. If you dont mind me asking petal but How long did it take in your situation to have a breakout after you found out you were infected with it or you didnt have a breakout?

Did you read the link that Dr. Hook recommended? If so, you'd know that receiving oral sex is not a risk for acquiring oral herpes.   http://www.ashastd.org/herpes/herpes_learn_oralherpes.cfm

If you've never had testing prior, you have know way of knowing if you've had it weeks, months or years. Many folks you have oral HSV1 acquired it in childhood. Please read the link to become better educated.

Sorry, for being so annoying to you. But how does that whole Oral HSV-1 carrier thing work? What does that mean? If i have oral herpes for a while wouldnt my girl contracted it and when we perform oral sex on each other shouldnt of we gave each the HSV-1 genitla herpes?  Sorry for being so so so annoying but you know your information about these things.
