Recently hooked up with someone who has hsv2 that i was unaware about. just kissing with tongue. what is the likelihood it could spread to me?

HSV 2: Although HSV 2 can occur in the mouth it is more commonly to be carried in the genital tract. If your partner had open sores on the mouth then the risk would be high. If your partner is an asymptomatic carrier of HSV 2 and typically only has outbreaks on the genitals then the risk would be low.
