Many people with HSV1 never get outbreaks, so that does not mean you are not infected.

Remember that you as likely to be infected by your Aunt Fannie with a Christmas kiss as well as kissing a boyfriend with oral HSV1 long before you'll get it from giving oral sex.

I've never had a cold sore before, so the thought of me contracting it now freaks me out, I'm trying to be safe.

Herpes symptoms would take 2-10 days to appear and not straight after. If you prick a condom they tend to split right open and be quite obvious. I'm sure no one poked the condom with a pin. No chance of transmission.

Do you already get oral cold sores or have tested for HSV1?

Well I don't really know I was just worried, I gave this guy head for less than a minute using a condom, afterwards my tongue felt like it was burnt and a little swollen, I can't remember exactly but y tongue might of been burnt before, I had drank some hot coffee a little while before I gave him head. Im just more concerned if I caught something from him if there was a a hole in the condom, like if someone poked the condom with a pin or something.

There isn't really anything such as a little whole in a condom, they split.

It is extremely unlikely to obtain oral herpes this way. Is your partner a confirmed carrier of genital herpes?
