Coz im having thos feeling sometimes n its been a month after exposure n I hv not shown ne symptoms except of groin gland swelling. I will wait for your reply. Thankyou.
I believe from previous posts your wife already has HSV1 and hence this offers wonderful protection to both her and the baby.
If you are concerned about transmission then perhaps avoid oral sex, but this is all that would be practical.

Is the person you kissed not your wife?
Either way, it does not matter. As your wife has HSV1, you are at risk of infection if you do not already have HSV1. Even if you are infected, again as your wife has HSV1, there is no risk to her or the baby.
In general though, I think you are simply stressing over very little, or simply regretting very much!
