A member asked:
A girl i've been seeing for last month or so we have always used condoms , but she has given oral about 3 times or so. she did state she has hsv1 and it's not had a breakout in almost 4 years.. what are the chances of contracting it from the oral?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Despite being somewhat of a small chance to contract when exposed to her when no active lesions, she still might be shedding virus. Suggest obtaining a blood test for hsv 1 and 2 IgM and IgG antibodies within the next 6 weeks. Also, be on the lookout for any lesions in areas of contact, getting them cultured if present.
