I wanted to find out the possibility of transmission if someone with an HSV2 Oral infection performs oral sex on me (I'm a female). How much of a risk would it be to contract HSV2 genital via this mode?

very low, because HSV 2 oral infection is uncommon and when it does exist, it is rarely shed from the mouth
