My new sex partner and I discussed the fact that we both have hsv-1. He has it orally and I have it genitally. I recently had an outbreak-- sores healed pretty quickly and I waited until 7 days after the sores had healed to have sex with him again. I even went to the OBGYN the day before we had sex and he said he didn't see any active lesions/sores or anything. However, (and I think I'm overthinking lol) when I looked at my vagina the next day, I saw a raised reddish area that was tender. No open skin/sores, but just raised and tender skin near the opening of my vagina. That kinda made me fearful that my outbreak didn't actually end and I had just had sex during an active outbreak. Upon realizing this, I was a little worried, but my research tells me that because my partner has oral HSV-1, he's extremely unlikely to be "re-infected" in his genitals (even if my viral load was relatively high when we had sex). I just wanted to ask the community if this rings true to what you all know about herpes and/or your experience with herpes?
