I am very worried about getting HSV2 after a recent encounter. I recently met a women while traveling in Eastern Europe and we had unprotected sex the night we met and the following morning. For Clarification. She was not a sex worker.
She was 28
After words ensure I saw no blisters or felt anyway to make sure she didn’t have any active sores showcasing an how break. I freaking out for very little reason other than what’s stated here. What are the risk I received hsv2 from that one brief encounter and how much of risk am I truly at in this scenario?

We just don't have that specific statistic. It seems very unlikely, but I can't say that it is zero. How long ago was this? Did you experience any sores in your genitals within the following two weeks after the encounter?

Thank you for you the quick response. It was two days ago, so I know too early to tell.
So while the possibility can’t be ruled out, less than 1% would you be concerned in the scenario?

I'm not willing to venture a percentage guess, I just think the chances that you got HSV from this experience are really low
