Well heres the thing, i just wanted to know what percentage of me getting herpes from my girlfreind? well she had her first outbreak a few weeks ago, she has no more bumbs on her tongue or lip, but her lip still looks a little scarred, well we have been holding back, untill today where us being the teenagers that we are, could not control our hormones, well we started to make out(french kissing), nothing happend beyond this point, but i still made out with her, like i said shes almost back to normal but she still has her lip a little scarred and bleeds a little, i wanted to know how much possibility of me getting it is there?? please im really worried

Thank You

Do you know if she has herpes for sure?  Were you ever tested?

Your chances of infection depend on whether or not you have it, so you need to find out.

I don't know if i have it, i doubt that i do i have NEVER gotten any of the symptoms or close to it, and the information im getting is that it's not herpes but it's simaliar to it, but that aside let's just say she does have it, what are chances of me getting it by making out with her? remember it's almost gone, well i don't know if it's completly gone but she has no symptoms anymore, but she does have a scarred lip, but i don't know if that's from her pulling out the skin or what? so, what are the chances of me getting it?

"and the information im getting is that it's not herpes but it's simaliar to it" i reffer to my girlfiend

If she still has symptoms, its a good chance you will get it IF you aren't already infected.

I know we went over this before, but only about 20-40% of the gazillions of people infected with hsv1 will ever get a cold sore.  The ONLY way to know if you have it is to test.

And I have no idea what is "not herpes but similiar to it" is.  Don't you think, for both your sakes, you all should find out exactly what she has?

And I know you are teenagers, and have hormones all over the place, but you CAN control this.
