It is indeed uncommon, yes. But not impossible. So you got herpes by your eye before you were sexually active? Is that correct?
You are very unlikely to transmit the genital HSV 1 through intercourse. the eye infection suggests that you are infected orally as well, which is more likely to be transmitted than the genital one. HSV 1 strongly prefers the trigeminal nerve that supplies the mouth, nose and eye. We know about genital HSV 1 shedding and oral HSV 1 shedding and we use that as a surrogate marker for transmission likelihood.
