Oral hsv 2
Recently diagnosed with hsv 2 oral. Lesion appeared on tongue a few days after performing oral sex. Swabbed at gum clinic and hsv 2 positive. How likely am I to suffer recurrences and also how likely to transfer to someone via kissing etc? Would it need to be a passionate kiss or could it transfer to my kids or something if I kiss them?

you would've had symptoms within 3 weeks of the encounter genitally/anally if you had contracted it there also. sounds like the protected anal sex protected you :)
actually it's well worth getting any recurrences cultured to confirm hsv2. you can't just assume everything oral is hsv2 related.
we do have a few oral shedding studies that we use for oral hsv2 shedding stats. http://sti.bmj.com/content/80/4/272.full is one of them.

Iv had initial one cultured. So I know what it is. I am assuming based on feedback in here and a bit of reading that recur is very unlikely / rare etc. What is this based on if numbers are so small? Just need a bit more info than unlikely / rare / uncommon. Etc it must be based on something? Surely it can't just be an assumption based on the fact ohsv2 is rare so therefore recurrences are rare?
we really don't have info on that the number is so small.
should you get an actual oral lesion, best to have it cultured within 48 hours of its appearance to confirm.

Hi. Sorry to ask another question - but I am fearful I am starting a recurrent ob, as soon as my tongue has cleared up. Tingling and raw under nose for last 24 hours out of no where. Now I took some comfort from the fact recurring hsv 2 orally was "rare" "uncommon" "unlikely" etc. Can anyone actually provide some hard medical / scientific numbers to back this up. Ie how many (percentage) of ohsv2 actually recur? And when they are recurrent, how often (per year)?
Thanks in advance.

it takes awhile for the skin to heal. you aren't still contagious at this point. also odds are you are really paying close attention to your entire oral area at this point too which makes things more noticeable to you.
no reason to think hiv from this. if the sweats continue for more than a month, follow up on them. meanwhile do what mom always told you to do - eat your veggies ( and drink lots of fluids to keep your body well hydrated ).
