Terri, just to reiterate, I am negative for both HSV1 and 2 via WB.

If I were French kissing my husband and he had a cold sore or was shedding virus, then performed oral sex on him, and then proceeded to have unprotected sex with him, is that a risk of contracting genital HSV1? I’m concerned that I may have had virus on my mouth then transferred it down to his penis, even though I know he wouldn’t contract, but virus from my mouth acquired from his might have been on his penis and I proceeded to have unprotected sex with him? Is that a possible scenario of contracting genital HSV1? Or is this unlikely?
