Type 1 HSV on genitals

[alwaysworried474]

I am a female with a recently oddly low white blood cell count.  I still have to go back for more blood tests.  I have had one and only one sex partner and my sex partner has only had one before me and both are clean.
I recently performed oral sex on my only sex partner while having what I now think is a cold sore.  I don't think I've had cold sores before but it looked like one and followed the symptoms of one.  After performing oral sex on each other, we had vaginal sex.  I have a number of questions that I'm rather confused about.

1. If I kissed my partner and then performed oral sex with a cold sore.  Is it more likely to be on his penis or mouth or can you not tell? *note* I later found out he had a cut in his mouth.

2. If I kissed my partner when I had a cold sore and then he performed oral sex on me. Is it possible that he gave me type one herpes on the genitals?

3.  Is it possible to get Type one both orally and on your genitals?

4. How soon should my partner be tested and how soon is too soon?

If you had hsv1 orally previously - you aren't likely to get it again genitally.  Once you are infected with herpes your body develops protective antibodies to keep this from happening.  You are very unlikely to transmit it to a partner genitally and then get it "back" genitally from them.  

If your partner's never been tested for herpes before - get a baseline herpes igg blood test for hsv1 and hsv2.  The only way to confirm that a hsv1 infection is genital on someone is if they can get a culture and typing of active genital lesions. A blood test will only tell what you have, not where you have it. You will always be more likely to transmit hsv1 to the oral area than the genital area.
