Herpes on breast?

My boyfriend sucked on my boob today and he had a cold sore. I didn't have any cuts or anything on my breast but he had a cold sore. What are my realistic chances of having herpes on my breat?

than really not a real risk at all. you two can kiss when he has cold sores ( and vice versa ) but err on the side of caution and don't perform oral or kiss other body parts when a cold sore is present. you both have significant protection against contracting hsv1 on other body parts but not 100%.

it's low risk but your bf should not be kissing you, performing oral on you or sucking on any body parts when he has active cold sores present!

have you ever had a cold sore yourself?  

have you two talked about what precautions to take from this point forward since you know he has hsv1 orally?

http://www.ashastd.org/std-sti-works/Herpes/oral-herpes.html  has terrific info for you both to better educate yourselves about hsv1 orally.
