I did so because I was confused if it posted or not.  I only posted it twice.

this happened about 2.5 years ago and i never got symptoms in that area.  When he did develop the cold sore 2 days later i still kissed him on the lips and got the cold sore on my lip.  I know i have it orally now but i never had any genital symptoms.

Have you ever been tested to know your own hsv status?

A cold sore starting a couple of days later probably wasn't an issue. typically shedding starts about 24 hours before the appearance of a cold sore.

Unless you get obvious genital symptoms within the next 1-3 weeks, don't worry about it.
