    Yes if you have sex with her you can get genital herpes also. 1 in 5 amercians have genital herpes and is very contagious. Still can get it from her if she is not broke out. Also their is no cure for this disease of the nervous system.

      Definition of genital and oral simply means that is the location of physical symptoms. If you both have Herpes type I then you have the same disease, you just show the symptoms in a different location.

      Yes, we show symptoms in different locations, that is true, but that doesn't answer my question of whether I may contract it genitally from her---and also if she can contract it orally from me? Is that likely to happen or will it stay the way it is? Orally for me and genitally for her. She got a really bad case of it (no doubt got it from me thru oral sex). What are the chances of her having more outbreaks and how many and how severe?

      Genital Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2). Most genital herpes is caused by HSV-2. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak. Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks tends to decrease over a period of years. HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called “fever blisters.” HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks. Did that answer your question?

        Yes, even when there seem to be no symptoms, you can contract it from her and you are likely to give it to her as well.
