hsv 1 and sex with spouse

. I have hsv1/2 combined score of 29.8 igG and igm non reactive on 23 rd Nov 2015. Last unprotected sucking and protected vaginal sex was also on 23rd Nov 2015 after giving blood sample.
On 9th Jan 2016 (after 50 days of last sexual encounter)  I have done hsv 2 type specific test with IgG 0.85 ( 0.80 -1.10 as equivocal in 4th generation test) but IgM was 1.72 reactive.
I asked here only and got answer that I have no hsv2 problem.
I have not done hsv1 type specific test yet .
Till today 12 march 2016 (after 110 days) I don't have any problem in penis or shaft of penis. I have little bit of itching in and around penis area.
My concern is I am marrying so what are the risk of having hsv 1 during unprotected sexual encounter with a new girl as my wife . what precaution should I take during sexual encounter and does their any problem to wife during and after pregnancy.

Those are all great signs. I would do another type specific igg test for 1 and 2 just to be sure.
I highly doubt you have hsv2

Hi , a little more doubt or curiosity rather , now it is almost 8 to 9 month passed after my last sexual encounter of unprotected oral sex and not having any type of homo or hetro sexual activity involved during last 8-9 months. I have no cold sores or any infection on or around lips , or any type of first infection on penis head or shaft ....only a little bit of itching around genitival even that is not on penis , specially it is only where hairs grows after 5-6 hours of bath , so am I free from hsv .

Igm tests are useless. If you do have hsv it most likely an oral infection from your childhood.  A newly acquired hsv 1 genital infection comes with a classic and painful first outbreak. Just avoid oral sex and kissing if you develoo a cold sore. Have her tested as well. She may have oral hsv1 as well and in that case you have no worries at all. Most of the population has it.

Thanks a lot for answering .

one more thing to share is that I was sexually active with paid women from last 5 till  
23rd Nov. I got some fungal infection last year Feb 2015 and found they disappeared when I have taken general prescribed antifungal tab" fluconazole " for 3 weeks but returned in few days so I visited doctor . Has given tab for" tinea cruris ". It healed for four months but I was still visiting
Paid sexworker , so it returned again in august 2015 .Doctor again gave me antifungal but for reoccurent type. Till today march 2016 I am free from it.
NOTE:- the so called fungal infection jock itch type was on inner thigh around testis and scortum( not on scortum and penis head or shaft) ,as asked by doctor.
After 50 days of last encounter (less likely to received from this encounter)HSV 2 IgG was 0.85 (less then 0.90 ).

So does it may be due to HSV 1 genital.
No lip kissing was done with them.
I have a problem of chaffed and cracked lips once in a month from childhood.
So please guide with this medical history.
