genital hsv 1

If i.was diagnosed in January and decided to have intercourse with a new partner what are the chances of passing my genital hsv 1 to him if he has no history of hsv 1 or 2?

Ive read articles online saying ghsv 1 rarely sheds and is highly unlikel that he will not get it. Is this true? Is this really not a big deal?

So should I tell my new partner since the risks is so low? He is negative for both. He was tested and I looked through his exam. Im so scared I dont know what to do. I hate myself so kuch for this :(

it definitely can happen, but genital to genital happens less often with hsv1 than hsv2.
