Likelihood of HSV2 transmission from asymptomatic individual through oral sex

Resolved question:
If you receive oral sex from an asymptomatic HSV2, when they have no outbreak, no lesions, no outward signs of any active sores, what's the likelihood of transmission?

To the best of my knowledge there were no open wounds involved, and no contact other than oral to genital until climax.

Hello,

Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.

Since you were the receiving partner you have only very low - negligible risk of HSV 2 from the partner. HSV2 typically occurs in the genital and for transmission there should be contact with genitals. Moreover the person appears to have a non active lesion - which may be non infectious. Either way you should be safe.

Hope this helps
