Could I have accidentally passed Oral HSV2 to my child?

[electra0]

I acquired HSV2 from my ex after he cheated in December. Before realizing I had had it, my daughter suddenly started with oral cold sores around the same exact time I had begun having genital irritation (which turned out to be my initial outbreak and didn't realize it at the time).

Neither my ex nor I knew at the time that we had HSV2 (we both had HSV1 already but neither of us got cold sores or genital sores from it) and were both performing oral sex on each other. Is it possible that I could've transmitted my newly acquired HSV2 infection to my mouth and then given it to my daughter if we had shared a water bottle or she had accidentally used my toothbrush?

I am going to get her a blood test done but in the meantime, any information woudl be helpful! Thanks!

NO. of course not. thanks for the info. i just read that if you are having oral sex w your partner during/after the virus is passed on that it's possible to get hsv2 orally.  and then i got concerned cuz coincidentally her sores started around the same time frame that i got hsv2 (genital...tho no visible sores) from my ex. i worried htat if i DID get it orally as well as genitally that she might have gotten it b/c sometimes i'd catch her accidentally using my toothbrush or sipping from my water bottles. anyuway, i'm rambling...thanks again.

It would be hsv1, unless she had oral to genital contact with you, which I would seriously hope hasn't happened.

i also read that if cold sores from hsv2 would not recur. she has had them a few times so far, so i'm really hoping that hers are due to hsv1.
