hsv1 transmission questions

I have been doing a ton of research to try an educate myself regarding hsv1 I have recently contracted hsv1 geniality via oral transmission. My question is if my partner has hsv1 orally already and now I have hsv1 as well and am on medication with no outbreaks what is the likelihood of passing it back to him  geniality or him giving it to me orally? And in this case is oral sex off limits?

you have to pay to start a post on Terri Warren's forum. You can't just start asking questions on someone else's post. If you want to pay to ask her questions,  you click on the "start a post" button on her forum and it walks you through the process.

if you have hsv1 genitally and your partner has it orally, it's a non-issue for the most part in your relationship. Just avoid sex anytime you have anything going on genitally to err on the side of caution. No reason to avoid oral sex either.

Thank you soo much I finally figured the post thing out ( :  took a minute from my cell phone.  So its not common to pass it again to him in a different area? I haven't found many statistics or risk percentages about this but  I read your comments on a similar situation but with hsv2 so I thought it was worth reaching out thank you very very much for the response

oh I can't even begin to figure out the forums from my supposedly smart phone....lol.  

no, he's not likely to contract hsv1 on another body part.  once you are infected on one body part, it gives you significant protection against contracting it elsewhere.

since it's hsv1 genitally, recurrences should be few and far between and this really shouldn't affect your sex life together much at all :)

keep asking questions!

That makes me feel much better and the same as far as kissing him? It should be less likely for me to contract it orally as well? We had been tested for stds both had neg results and began having unprotected sex now that this has happened its been up in the air if we could even do that again ) :   its just amazing to me that this isn't something people know enough about I felt blind sided after having annual routine exams and feeling this sense of relief after going to the gyn and never having an issue then being  diagnosed with this right after a check up I couldn't even process it to being asking questions about it. I have done a ton of reading and finally built up the courage to ask and I must say its the first time I have felt comfort in asking or discussing it as well as learning of experiences of others such a help!

correct - kiss away!!!

if you covered your other std testing bases, no reason not to have unprotected sex because of your genital hsv1 since he has it orally. just avoid sex anytime anything is going on genitally to err on the side of caution.
