around the 20th of december (2006) i was with a guy who had a cold sore (but not herpes simplex 1 --> he tested negative for herpes) on his lip and went down on me. on the 9th of this month as i was shaving (because i do down there) i nicked the top of a bump which i didn't even know was there. when i got out of the shower and i looked down there, i noticed a tiny series of spots which were a little bit red. by the end of that day they had grown and had white tips to them. the next day they were the same and now they don't have white tops anymore. the past two days, they have been painful to the touch. it is painful to walk and i'm not sure if i got herpes from his sore.
luckily, being shaved from days before (because i haven't since i saw the sores) has made it easy to track the progress of my sores.
but my question is, can i get herpes 2 from someone if they have a cold sore but they tested negative for herpes, type 1?
