21 days. ADVICE PLEASE!!! GRACE, TERRI, OR DR. HHH, ANYONE

Every since I have read that Hvs1 cold sores can spread to the genitals area without any visible sores I have been  completely worry, and having lots of anxiety. I haven't had a cold sore n 9years, on the 3rd of this month I performed unprotected oral sex on my partner I did not have any visible sores at the time nor was I having any signs of one come on. On the 13th which was the 10th day he started having serve headaches n burning sensation all over. on the 15th-17th he had mild fevers on n off but no gentile symptoms . On the 17th-18th muscles aches, n they went away on the 19th-22nd feeling a little tried but still no gentile sores. Today make 3weeks to be exact n he still hasn't developed any gentile blisters nor sores.

1. Is it still possible for him to have a initial outbreak, now that it has been 21day or can I just let this go in move on.
2. Since the incubation period is 2-20 days.
Someone please help me..

Thanks, All of what I said ( although I might not be able to %100 accurately use the information) are coming from what I have heard from experts forum, my doctors and my research. Just to clarify Those experts you refer DrHHH and Terri arent part of this forum this is the community forum not he expert one.I think the expert forum is no longer available. There are experienced educated people like life360 Fleetwood and Grace and its weekend so they will reply later on I am sure, you posted merely 5 hours ago be patient:))

Ok thanks for your advice, n after reading some of your posts, I see that you have, also had one of these risky encounter yourself as well. N congrats on being negative. I really appreciate your help. But it is very frustrating when your trying to seek reliable information from some of the experts on the herpes board, n they never seem to reply back even though you have seen them replying back to other post within the same hour shruggs. Alot of the information online doesn't really specified the initial process of the virus, but any who thanks alot again for your help. I am going to pray n try to put this behind me.

If you didnt have any lip sore at the time and he is nit infected with cold sores(  I doubt that he isnt if you are in long term relationship that involves deep kissing) chances of him getting hsv1 from oral sex to his genitals is 1 in 10,000 maybe lower. There is no need to worry he should seek out a type specific hsv1&2 IGG tet to see his status not because of this event but so you can take or not take precautions accordingly.  He is pribably got a cold a common viral/ bacterial infection during these cold times, as we all do.
The median is 3-5 days, rarely up to 3 weeks but after that only theoratical possibility is asymptomatic or missed infection, but intense flulike symptoms with no sores is almost never herpes. He just had a cold or flu and some aches, relax;)

Sounds like a cold or flu, if his infection were severe enough to have these symptoms he definetely wpuld have sores, I suggest you use a condom for oral sex untill he gets hsv1 orally
