Sexual intercourse again with my out-of town lover of two years resulted in lesions.....and a culture that showed HSV 1. He's shocked, I am too. (1) Since he is clearly asymptomatic, what is the likelihood he transmitted the virus to me through shedding? (2) If unbeknown to me I contracted the virus myself several months ago in another relationship involving oral sex performed on me --could the virus have lain dormant and now have been "awakened" by sexual activity with my out of town friend? (3) If #2 is the case, what is the likelihood that I transmitted the virus to him during the outbreak (he has no symptoms yet) and are we "safe" as sexual partners henceforth? (4) What tests should he have? (5) What is the likelihood that I now could pass on the virus to future partners through a) genital to genital transmission and b) cunnilingus? I read that genital-genital transmission is rare, which makes me confused about how I got this, and how I can keep from spreading it further. Thanks so much for your help!
