HSV2 transmitted Orally

I have a couple of questions bothering me and hope someone can clarify this for me

1. Can HSV2 be transmitted to Genitals via Oral Sex

2. Is it possible to have only Oral HSV2

3, Can someone with Oral HSV2 cross infect themself via masterbation if they have an active facial sore they perhaps touched prior to this.

Hi there -

Its possible, but not likely at all.  HSV2 orally is very rare.

Yes its possible, but again, very rare.

Possible, but not at all likely.  You have antibodies which would help prevent you from getting the same infection in another spot on your body.
