Risk of transmission

I had a sexual experience and want to know what the risk of transmitting it is.  I have HSV2, not an outbreak at the time.  We had oral sex, touching from vagina to penis and once a little insertion vaginally but not in far and not full penetration.  What are the chances of transmitting to this individual?  Also how long before we would know.  Freaking out slot.

8 weeks would be a good indicator but i would not be concerned he contracted it at all. Those most at risk are in long term mono relationships where one partner is infected.

Hi, shedding occurs 15-30% of the time but with no outbreaks at the time the chance you past it to him from a one time affair is close to zero.
