    1. oral hsv does not cause discharge or any genital symptoms.

    2 so its possible you have it genitally

    1. yes you can, its rare but possible.

    2. it all just depends on taking your meds and beig careful.

      condoms dont always protect from herpes. if any part of the penis is uncovered during sex and that part touches your genitals, you can contract it. but thats just a possibility. might just be bv.
