It is true that the virus can be transmitted while no symptoms are present and can be transmitted to the genitals via giving oral sex.
I think you are looking for a previous partner to have given you HSV 1 perhaps, but a more likely scenario is that you acquired it as a child from someone kissing you with a cold sore and you’ve had it for years without either recognizing it or realizing it.
The experts vary on how and when you should disclose this information. I would say certainly before giving anyone oral sex. The kissing is more difficult to state in black and white. I don’t even have a strong feeling about that one, truthfully.
You are most welcome.
