I was diagnosed with genital HSV1 via swab two years ago after receiving oral sex from an symptomatic person. I tested negative for HSV2. Last night, I had a sexual encounter with someone I’ve been casually seeing for a few weeks now. I’m not sure about his herpes status, but I do know that he has slept with a fair amount of women and his ex girlfriend was a heroin addict who cheated on him. He said he got tested and came back negative for everything, but he wasn’t tested for herpes. Anyway, we gave each other oral sex but we did not have penetrative sex. However, he did rub his penis on my vagina for probably less than 30 seconds but there was bare genital to genital contact. It was very brief. I am a very paranoid person when it comes to STDs especially after my ghsv1 diagnosis so I will probably definitely get tested at 6-12 weeks just to ease my mind, but I’m curious about how worried I realistically need to be about this. How risky do you think this encounter was? Does having HSV1 genitally make it harder to contract HSV2? Should I be worried about oral HSV2 from giving him oral? I feel like the brevity of this encounter makes it not extremely risky but I’d like an expert’s opinion. Thank you.

I was more concerned about him possibly infecting me with HSV2. He did rub it on my clitoris, so would that increase my risk because that is the delicate skin?

Okay thank you so much for your time!
