So I have genital hsv1, all I want to know if a guy gives me oral, what is the % chance of me giving him oral hsv1 (cold sores) assuming that he doesn't already have it of course? And assuming I have no outbreak at the time.
I've been reading that the chances are extremely low and the main stuff I can find is about passing hsv2 to the oral area and hsv1 oral to genital but nothing about genital to oral transmission for hsv1. I'm a bit confused. I don't want to worry about giving a guy cold sores everytime I have oral sex.
Can I pass ghsv1 to someone else's mouth through oral sex?
