Herpes 1
I recently tested positive for HSV-1 but how do i know if I have genital herpes or oral? I have never had an outbreak on my penis. My Girlfriend tested positive for HSV-2. Could it be possible for me to get infected with HSV-2 since I already have HSV-1?

You will not find out if your HSV1 is oral or genital unless you have sores and a positive culture test from those sores.
It is possible for you to get infected genitally. However, it is unlikely for you to get infected orally.
1: Avoid sex during outbreaks. If you do this there is < 10% chance per year that you will catch HSV2 from her
2: Use condoms. This will cut transmission 50% in addition to #1.
3: If she takes Valtrex, it will decrease the rate of transmission.
