how easy to contract hpv1

I recently started dating a woman that has hpv1.  She has occasional outbreaks on the mouth.  What are the chances I will contract it by kissing her if she has no physical signs or says she has no symptoms?

I believe you mean hsv1 ?  hpv is a totally different virus.

have you ever been tested for herpes to know your own herpes status?

No, I haven't been tested. Good point. Based on what I've read on this site, I probably have it and don't know it!

Question, and forgive me if it is a stupid one... do most people that have oral herpes have genital herpes as well?

and thank you for your repsonse.

No the strand of herpes that affects ur lips and other body parts are different than the strand that affects ur genitals....from what I've read though if u have  cold sore touch it then touch ur genitals u can transfer the virus to ur genitals I don't have herpes rhoigh so this is a strictly off of what I've read

60% of folks in the US have hsv1 .

25% of them have hsv2.
