HSV 2 oral herpes to genital herpes

Hi all,
I know undone has been helping me with my questions for the last week...here is another one... Is it possible that girl who gave me oral had HSV 2 cold sore (oral herpes) and if that is the case what is the likelihood that I would get primary infection? I know with HSV 1 it is very likely but not sure if HSV 2 falls in that category as well. I am at day 11 and still no symptoms yet...and some sites say...symptoms show up after 2 weeks because of 2-12 days of incubation...I'm going crazy with all the wait and reading so much about herpes.

Thanks for help
S

Oral sv2 is rare. It doesn't like the oral cavity. It sheds very little as well as having few outbreaks. In other words this isn't a realistic possibility at all. I would not be concerned with the scenario you layed out.
