The chance of getting oral herpes (HSV-2) is relatively low because HSV-2 typically causes genital herpes. Oral herpes, mainly caused by HSV-1, commonly manifests as cold sores around the mouth and lips.

However, it's still possible to get oral HSV-2 through performing oral sex on someone with genital HSV-2 or coming into contact with their infected bodily fluids during sexual activity. Using protection like dental dams or condoms can reduce this risk.

If you have concerns about potential exposure to STDs including oral hsv 2 , please consult a healthcare provider for accurate testing and appropriate guidance tailored to your situation.
