transmission of oral hsv 2
can you get oral hsv 2 from kissing some one who has hsv 2?
It's an article on oral hsv2 by Anna Wald I believe if you want to check out pubmed.gov to try to find it.

very low since hsv2 orally doesn't shed very often. on average it sheds 1% of days.

So if someone has HSV2 mouth lesions what are the odd of contracting HSV2 orally through kissing?
Only about 3% of all oral herpes infections are due to hsv2. If your partner only has hsv2 genitally, you won't get it from kissing their face.
