Genital to genital hsv1 transmision is extremely rare. Most experts i know haven't seen a case in their very busy clinics. As you know it sheds very little with a low viral load. If i was dating someone with ghsv1 i wouldn't be concerned in the least.
Correct. Hsv1 genital is the best hsv in the best place. I know it was a shock but in time you will see this is no big deal
Do you think because HSV1 prefers oral, the risk is higher to transmit by receiving oral or via intercourse?
I've gone over the odds by intercourse. Receiving oral sex is extremely low risk for your partner
