HELP What Chance of Herpes?
So this woman with two open bulging cuts on her lips I had sex with her. Protected.
I felt bad as I didn't want her lips near me, however as I went to get dressed she kissed me on the cheek...
Please any help appreciated so I know realistically where I stand. Is the chance high or low or what's the chance?

I wouldn't want someone with open cuts on their lips near my face, either, no matter what was causing the cuts.
If it was herpes, which sounds unlikely, since those don't cause bulging cuts that way, the skin on your cheek is too thick to penetrate with virus, so you're fine.
You seem to have a fear of hsv1. We've been over a lot of this before. About half of the adult population has it. You've likely already kissed people who have it - your mom, your grandparents, your aunts and uncles, etc. I can't remember if you've been tested to see if you have it or not, but if you haven't, ask for a type specific IgG blood test. If you already have it, you can't get it again.
