What are the chances I contracted HSV1 genitally from oral sex?

[alittleconcerned2]

I received brief oral sex from a girl who had a cold sore. It was for maybe 30 seconds-1 minute and I don't think my penis came in contact with the sore itself, as it was on the upper lip under the nose.

Less then 24 hours after my exposure, I took an IGG test for both HSV1 and HSV2, they both came back negative which means it appears I don't have the HSV1 immunity on my genitals.

My questions is, how likely was it that I caught HSV1 and when will I know for sure?

That's the misconception about reading hsv symptoms. The first thing you will notice from a primary is lesions forming. Not nerve pain or any of the other symptoms people think signal a primary outbreak. Those symptoms are for future outbreaks past the primary. So lesions forming and flu like symptoms are what to watch for.
At 8 days though it's looking good that you did not contract hsv

Not sure I understand your question

[alittleconcerned2]

Basically, if the normal symptom timeline for HSV1 infection is from 2-10 days after exposure, is there a chance at day 8 that you'll have a breakout if you've had zero other symptoms.

In my experience it's due to stress and being overly aware of the area. In all my time doing this is have never had someone with your symptoms come back saying it is an std of any kind.

Gotcha thank you so much. At 8 days is it normal to just go from zero to 60 days 8-10 days out?

[alittleconcerned2]

Breakout wise?

There are no stats for the exposure you had. Not many studies have been done on the subject. No money in it. Most exposures do not lead to transmission of the virus. Yes it is a bigger risk when a cold sore is present but what stage the cold sore is in matters as well..was it all scabbed over or an open sore? If it was scabbed then your risk was lower as the virus would be retreating by then.
If you do not have an outbreak by ten days then I would say you are 90% in the clear. A newly acquired hsv1 genital infection are rarely asymptomatic.
12 weeks would be the proper time to test.

Hey! So in the 8th day after exposure, no lesions or flu feelings.

Question, still having that burning feeling in the urethra and skin on top of the penis head. No red marks or extreme pain, just hurts a little. What could that be?

[feelingundone]

It is higher risk if it indeed was a cold sore. If you did contract hsv1 on the genitals you will most likely have a very noticeable primary outbreak 3-10 days after this encounter.

Thank you for your swift response. Is there data on how high the risk is when exposed to HSV1 via oral sores? If I do not break out in 3-10 days what % am i in the clear? When should I take the IGG tests again?
