Hi, I have labial HSV-1 since I was a kid I guess. Today the cold sore symptom showed up after ages. The day before I had oral sex with my girlfriend but no symptom was evident at that time. What is the probability I passed it to her genital?
thanks

I learned this the hard way. My ex complained of a sore mouth but didn't think anything of it. We had oral sex and a week later i developed "cold sores" on my genitals, went to the doctor and tested positive for HSV-1 and not HSV-2. They've only appeared that once the past two years. Be careful...although 80% of americans have this virus so it become pretty hard to avoid
