Genital to Oral HSV-1 transmission

As a female with HSV-1, I am wondering the risks associated to a partner performing oral on me.  What is the chance they would get infected with HSV-1 orally?  I have had HSV-1 for 20 years.  Over that time I have had about 4-5 outbreaks during the 1st 10 years and none during the last 10 years.

hsv1 genitally doesn't shed very often at all. you can transmit it to a partner but the risk is low.

has your partner been tested to know their own status?

I would for sure make sure any potential partner was tested for EVERYTHING prior to anything happening sexually.  I will only be young and dumb once in my life.  At the time I contacted HSV-1, I had no idea that a cold sore could be spread to my genitals.

I mainly posted my question because most of the information on this site didn't directly address the genital to oral transmission rates for HSV-1.  It only talked about HSV-2.

Thank you for answering my question.

it's not any more likely to transmit to the oral area just because it's hsv1 if that's what you were wondering?

keep asking questions!
