last week i performed oral sex on my girlfriend and then we had protected penetrative sex. the oral sex lasted a little more than 5 mins and she came. it was the first time we had sex. about 24 hours later i developed a fever blister on my lower lip. ive had hsv1 since i was a kid and would only get an outbreak when i had a really high fever or allow my lips to get sunburnt. i ve probably had about 5 outbreaks in the past 10 years.
i dated a girl before this current girlfriend and we would have oral sex about 3 times a week, receiving and giving. for the three years that i was with her, i never had an hsv1 outbreak after performing oral sex.
also, im very careful about causing hsv1 outbreaks, meaning i keep my lips moisturized, with a chap stick with spf, maintain clean hygiene and avoid and type of daily activities that may cause an outbreak.
so is it possible that my new girlfriend has hsv and this caused my outbreak, or could it be something other factor that caused the outbreak, like irritation from performing oral sex?
