passing herpes 1 to partners genitals

i performed oral sex on my girlfriend last night around 5am. the next day around 3pm i had a cold sore reoccurance. is it likely i will give my girlfriend herpes 1 on her vagina from this encounter? thanks

Does your girlfriend know her own HSV status?  Chances are she already has HSV and if so she can't get it in her genital region easily.

Oral sex is a low risk for HSV.  Given the cold sore showing up it could be a little higher.  Have her be on the look out for symptoms 2-20 days after expsoure if nothing no need to worry.  Should something come up have her seen by her doctor within 24-48 hours so if they feel a lesion culture needs to be done one can be done effectively.

i first performed oral sex on her at 5 am more or less and the next day at 3pm i got a cold sore..unfortunately just before this i kissed her and literally 5 minutes later i got the cold sore. it has been three days and just last night she got her first cold sore ever. i feel obviously quite bad because it was my biggest fear and now it happened. is there a good chance i also gave her genital herpes from the night before???? thanks

I'm confused as to why you would perform oral sex on your gf when you were just here 2 days ago posting about worrying about transmitting hsv1 to her orally?????    In your other post it was 5 minutes later you got a cold sore.   Now it's a much longer time frame??

it happened like this..i gave her oral sex the night before...then the next day i woke up and kissed her on the lips and about 2 mintues later i got a cold sore. ...then about two days later she got a cold sore..so i wanted to know if its likely i also passed herpes 1 to her genitals the night before getting the cold sore..thanks

well thank you for clarifying that. that makes a lot more sense than your previous 2 posts.

so did she have cold sores prior to this or was this her first cold sore ever?

her first cold sore..she was tested before and was negative for hsv1 and 2. i definitely gave it to her. could i have passed it as well to her genitals even though i did not have active lesions at the moment

[gracefromHHP]

yes you could've transmitted it to her genitals too. if she gets symptoms genitally, she should be seen promptly for a lesion culture and typing to confirm and treatment.  

Not really anything else you can do at this point but wait unfortunately.  did she see her doctor about the cold sore to get oral antivirals for it?

isnt the risk quite low still because herpes 1 doesnt prefer the genitals and because it was about 10 hours before i got the cold sore?

[Mistakeguy789]

Not really the time 10 hours is still a risky event for her.  Risk is low yes but still possible given the time to expsoure.  Follow grace's advice.
