The girl I'm seeing has genital hsv-1, I have nothing. I keep reading that genital hsv-1 is rare, but my question is about the risk of me receiving it orally. If I go down on her (again I do not have hsv1 or 2) what are the chances I could contract hsv1 orally? We dated previously and decided to see other people for a while but got led back to eachother, so she contracted from someone else (trust me I'm not happy) but I really care about her. Oral sex is a big part of our sex life and my concern is getting it from going down on her. I've been reading about hsv1 for a couple days now and I'm having trouble finding an answer to this question. Please let me know and thanks in advance for your answer.
