HSV 1 & 2, giving oral
Hello,
I'm not too sure of my status as the routine STI tests in my jurisdiction doesn't include HSV 1/2 antibody text. I never thought to ask for it actually.
Never had a cold sore in my life.
I'm male, recently met up with another male. He had a cold sore on his lip, so we didn't kiss mouth to mouth. He did suck on my nipple slightly and kissed my shoulder. I didn't have any cuts around my nipples or shoulder. I gave him a blow job and licked his balls.
I did ask him if he was hiv neg and sti free and he said he was. He did mention that he did have a sore on his penis before but he hasn't had any soars on his penis for over a year.
I've done a lot of HIV education for myself, but not so much for herpes.
I know HSV 1 can also cause sores around his genitals. Assuming he has either HSV 1 or HSV 2, and assuming I don't have it, what are my chances for infection?
Summary: he had a cold sore on his lip, he didn't have any sores on his genitals but he has had a sore there in the past but none in the last year.

Forgot to mention, that we also have anal sex and he was the top, but we used a condom.
