Hello,
I have HSV-1 since I was 8 or 9 years old ( the first time I had a cold sore) and it is quite rare for me to have an outbreak. Two weeks ago I had an outbreak and yesterday I was touching my lip because I wanted to check the crust ( I think the herpes itself was pretty much gone) . After a few seconds I went to the bathroom and touched my penis...Is it possible for me to pass the herpes to my genital area?
