Genital to genital transmision of hav1 is very rare. It sheds very little and isn't very potent when it does. There are no stats to answer your "chances" question. Is it a possibility?, yes. Is it likely? No

This isn't hsv. Go back to your dermatologist.
Your girlfriend had never had an outbreak? If so then it's highly likely that hers is an old oral infection. Most likely from early childhood.

She got tested and she has hsv 1.but she don't have any outbreak.she said she never had any sores anywhere.so maybe it's in her mouth I don't know but after we had sex I had some penis sore and it's there since 2 months doctors can't diagnose anything.i will go crazy.they said it's skin rash.but it happened after sex.she don't have any outbreak.so u think she has genital hsv1? Because on test only shows its hsv1. But she said no outbreak nothing

Hpv does not present itself like you describe. I would go back to your dr or see a dermatologist. Doesn't sound like anything std related. How do you know your girlfriend's hsv1 is genital?

I see but u think is normal to have these sores since 2 months? I'm just concerned.i think herpes sores heals after itself.this is like rash and it didn't go away.im just using a cream.what else can be besides herpes and hpv?

Hpv is inevitable as everyone will likely get atleast one strain. If you're sexually active than hpv is surely going to happen
