transmission of hsv-1
Hello,
Since last July, I'd been experiencing chapped, peeling lips that would sometimes swell, slighty burn, itch, and weep, get read around the lip line. I would also get cracks/splits in the corners of my mouth. This would last for a week up to 2 months.
I began experiencing the same symptoms at the beginning of March. This time, I also awoke one morning to swollen lips with raised red spots/sores. My lips were weeping, but not from the sores or spots themselves. The next day they went away after various home remedies.
My doctor said it looked like a bacterial infection, as I wemt to him when the corners of my mouth had produced a yellowish crust that could be removed easily with warm water.
I applied diluted trea tree oil, witchhazel and l-lysine. I also to multi-vitammins, Bcomplex . I also started taking l-lysine pills.Withing 3 days, everything had cleared up and i kissed somebody who then performed unproatected oral sex on me.
what is the chance of having infreted him and/or causing reinfection in my genitals?

when you have herpes on one body part, you aren't likely to contract it on another.
It's just that everything I keep reading indicates that HSV-1 is so easily transmitted. I am freaked out. I guess I am just wondering the likelihood, if it was oral herpes, of me having passed it to him, and of him passing it back to me.
When I went to the doctor, I had a swab taken but results have not come back yet.
By the way, I am also sick now with a sore throat and fever. And yes, everybody else is sick too, but it's been 3 days since we were together. He is also not my partner, which nakes it worse!

this doesn't sound like oral herpes reoccurring.
have you and your partner ever been tested for herpes to know who has what?
your partner could transfer a bacterial infection from your lips to your genital area, but the risk of that is low. A partner won't transmit an oral herpes infection from your lips to your genital area though.
