what are the chances?
I had a one night stand with a man and used a condom. I have HSV 2 and have had for 12 years. I rarely have outbreaks but did have one blister 2weeks prior that was totally healed. I am so confused about this asymptomatic shedding thing and I am so worried that I could have passed it on. It is unlikely I will see this person again but we have friends in common. I have read so much conflicting information online -can some one give me an idea of the chances I could have passed this on through asymptomatic shedding as I would have had no idea this was happening if it was the case. Apparently condoms don't offer 100% protection against this. I know this is possible but what are the odds?
Hi, shedding of hsv2 genital is about 15% of the time so the the odds you passed it from a one time affair using a condom and you not having any genital sores at the time are close to zero.
