can Someone with GHSV-1 easily catch GHSV-2

I have had GHSV-1 for few years. I do get BO's but are very short and less painful. I had a stint with someone and was performed oral unprotected. 3 weeks after I had blisters on my infected area on my penis. its been long time they have not gone and its a similar feeling of burning but very severe and has lasted too long.
Is it possible I have contracted GHSV-2 from the oral activity.

I would think it would be unlikely you contracted hsv2 genitally from your oral encounter because oral hsv2 is rare and sheds infrequently. It's not impossible but it would be very very unlikely.
