Did you test positive to hsv2? Are you guessing its hsv2? Chances are you just had an outbreak. I've had herpes for 2 years and have only had my initial outbreak. I still have herpes and still have to disclose this with sexual partners. Still scratch my head on occasion questioning it.

When I acquired herpes I had ample oral sex and never contracted "them" orally. And remember, condoms do help protect you but herpes is skin on skin and there is far more skin than that of a penis and vagina. So, condoms are not a 100% sure fire barrier in the prevention of spreading herpes.
