Odds of Contracting Genital Herpes Through Oral Sex

Odds of Contracting Genital Herpes Through Oral Sex

About aweek ago, I received oral sex from my boyfriend who had a cold sore. I have heard that when the cold sore is scabbed or no longer oozing, then the cold sore is no longer contagious. From what I know, I have no history of having cold sores in the past. I am a 20 year old female. What are the odds of me contracting HSV 1 genitally when my boyfriend's cold sore was in healing process? (Also, I kissed him many times while he hadhis cold sore and I did not contract one on my lips.) Thanks.
