A member asked:
I slept with a lady who has history of herpes. two days later she had outbreak developed sores on her lips. what are the chances that i got infected?

There is a chance: There's not much you can do about it now except wait. Active lesions are usually how you spread the virus, but if she was within 48 hours of a breakout, there may have been viruses present. Best of luck.
