My partner just informed me that she has hsv-2 and is asymptomatic. we have been sexually active for 8 months and have not used any protection. what is the probability i have contracted the virus? currently, i have not experienced any symptoms.

HSV-2 comes and goes: Herpes virus can be sexually transmitted ,but usually when it is overt ( out in the open). Your partner will probably know when that occurs, as these lesions are often painful, prior to expression on the skin and that is the highest risk time of transmission. Condoms don't always provide adequate protection as it can still be acquired from the vulva to the scrotum. No symptoms now, no problem yet.

High probability: You are likely to have the virus. You should both obtain HSV vaccinations.

STD/Safe sex .: Hi. First, the best recommendation is having safe sex relation . You can get the HSV2 contacting genital areas, also with no symptoms, partner could have not visible lesions. Please check with you PCP, and follow Dr. recommendations.

Highly likely: The virus is often transmitted without symptoms. Fortunately, the virus can be treated during a period of viral activity and a medication can be taken daily to prevent viral replication.

Possible: Certainly is possible, quite a percentage of people who are positive are asymptomatic , it would be worth getting tested https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20120225/risk-for-transmission-comparable-among-symptomatic-asymptomatic-hsv-2
