possible STD transmission method?

If I had a cold sore on my lip that's been healing for 2 days now (meaning it's hard and crusty) and my girl gave me head can she get that cold sore too?
Some fill-ins:
- I do not have genital herpes
- I did not touch the sore than touch my penis
- I did not kiss her
- Last time we were intimate was over 2 weeks before my cold sore (don't know if this makes a difference)
- There was no sore on my penis (I've never had any cold sores on my penis)
So basically even though the sore is on my lip and she only had contact w/ a clear penis can she somehow develop a cold sore on her lip or even genital herpes?
Thank you,

No, she can not catch your HSV1 infection from giving you a blow job.

So if a girl has genital herpes and hasn't had a breakout in years can you get it if she blows a man
No. Herpes only infects certain areas.
Only the areas infected can transmit the virus
