Update: Tested Negative! Thanks
I still think there is a good chance you did not contract herpes, if that is the question.

Terri,
Even if she recently contracted herpes <6 months ago? I know the transmission risk is a little higher.
Yes, I think there is a good change you did not contract HSV 2
Terri
Terri,
Tested NEGATIVE for hiv! Still nervous about this hsv2 exposure...I really need closure so I can put my mind at ease. Do you think it's a good chance that I didn't contract hsv2?
Up to you. Our clinic recommends STD testing between partner changes. If it would give you peace of mind, I think you should.
Terri
Terri,
Do you also recommend that I get an HIV test just in case?
I still think the timing is OK for you to be tested after the first of the year.
Terri
Thanks for the response, we last had protected vaginal sex in September twice. Used condom every time. I tested for herpes in 2010 was +hsv1 and -hsv2. Had cold sores on lip.
I'm not at all worried about the oral contact since you are already HSV 1 positive and that is the most likely thing you would acquire from her through receiving oral sex.
If you had intercourse last in August, then if you want to get tested to see if you are infected, you could do that with accuracy now. I think the risk of you getting HSV from her if you used condoms every time is low. Were you ever tested before to know if you had herpes or not?
