If you find out you have HSV1, then you
mayknow the answer to that one.
If your playmate was one of the 75% plus of the people on this board that have HSV1, but was in the minority that showed symptons and shedding, then she could have transferred it to you through oral sex. (Heck, even if it turns out to be HSV2 it could still have been transmitted to you through a BJ, its just a little less likely.)
What's my point? Well, anything other than sex with you spouse has risks. Even fully rubbered, dams and all, there are still risks. You can minimize them but not avoid them. Second, even though I definitely feel for both the OP and toomuchfun and would not want to trade places with any of them, they are not in such a different space than most of you reading this post. Most of you already have herpes in one form or another but are blissfully asymptomatic.
