HSV1 oral transmission to genital
Hi, i was diagnosed with Oral HSV1 about 3 months ago. I had the talk with my girlfriend and she was understanding and accepted me regardless. I asked her to get tested for Herpes but also for all STDs like i did but to date she has not gone. She is fairly conservative minded and i think that is why she doesn't want to go. But now I'm furius!!! Unfortunatley, the other night we had sex and she neglected to tell me that she had some legions in her lower lip that could have been Herpes. To make the matter worse I proceeded to give her Oral sex without a condom. So my questions are these as i'm really concern.
1) if indeed she has HSV1, what are the chances that i may have transmitted herpes to her genitals even though i had no visible outbreak myself but kissed her intensely while she had a possible outbreak and then proceeded to give her oral sex?
2) how long does it take to contract the herpes virus given an outbreak from someone who has Oral Herpes to someone who doesn't? is it immediate upon contact?
3) Assuming we are both HSV1 positive, what is the possibility of either of us contracting genital herpes by giving oral sex to each other?
I am very upset with her and she has apologized numerous times and has told me she will go get an STD screening tomorrow...i have it in me to forgive her but right now i'm just frustrated and concerned about possibly have transmitted her genital herpes.
Thank you so much for your reply.

it wasn't on her lip, it was under her lower lip...it turns out they were ulcers or canker sores which are not contagious
Hi Grace, i'm sorry, i forgot to add to my old post-i remembered after i had already submitted this post-(
i had a blood test done in a clinic and it showed HSV 1 igG level was 4.63.

It's really helpful when you just keep adding to your original post instead of making new ones each time. we ask this in our read before posting post on this forum.
let's start at the very beginning - how were you diagnosed as having hsv1 orally?
