) with a man with hsv1 orally and hsv2 genitally...He gets outbreaks about 3x a year and has has the virus for 2-3 yrs. He takes lysine every few days. He was not having an outbreak at the time and we used a condom
Oral risk when it is unprotected is a low risk. If he had not active symptoms the chances are again low but still possible that he was shedding the virus without symptoms. Again thats low. Condoms
will only reduce the transmission rate by 30%. Avoiding during a period of an outbreak again means the risk is low but because other parts that are in the "boxer shorts" region could be actively shedding the virus from there.
Using antivirals helps in reducing the shedding and outbreaks. so that is work in your favor.
You can test accurately using a type specfic IgG blood test in 3+ months. If you don't already know your HSV status you can test now to find out what you have and then test again later to see your status. If you get symptoms of Herpes they will typically appear in 2-20 day window. Not less than 2 days.
