correct. Extremely low risk here because you already have HSV 1, and him having HSV 2 orally is uncommon and it shed infrequently from the mouth, even if he had it.

So you are saying I had very little to no risk with the encounter I had. He never touched my genitals and I did not touch his and them mine. Only kissing. Thank you
So the activity that you describe is not a concern for getting herpes, no. Period. Getting an STD with kissing is very unlikely because you already have HSV 1 which is the most common STD transmitted via kissing. If you give oral sex to someone, there is a small risk of acquiring an STD, yes. And this could be HSV 2, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, the whole deal. The throat and mouth are thin vulnerable skin like genital skin. Having them put on a condom before giving oral sex would be hugely protective. You could also ask a future partner to be tested for STD's and if they have none and are monogamous with you only, then STDs through oral sex is not an issue.
Is that what you are asking?
