I was recently diagnosed with genital hsv 1. Since i got it from having oral sex, does that mean that having oral again will cause another outbreak? 

Also, if my boyfriend has hsv 1 already, is it possible for me to give it to him gentially?

No it doesn't necessarily mean you'll have another outbreak. Your triggers could cause another OB. If he was rough doing oral, for example, that could be a trigger and could cause one but it all depends on the person!

Oral sex is how you contracted it, not what necessarily caused an OB unless you had already had it and oral triggered an OB. Does that make sense?

Also, if he doesn't have HSV-1 genitally it's possible you could share it with him. If you don't have sex during an OB, wear protection and/or take antivirals his risk is very low.
