Hello. When I Was 15 I Had My First Sexual
Question: Hello. When I was 15 I had my first sexual encounter. It was not penetrative only oral and within the week I got genital herpes.
I have had 5-10 outbreaks in the past 5 years but they were no where near as bad and I normally experience back pain and sometimes pain in my legs or even arms. I have never taken any medication.
I am nearing my period and normally experience back pain every month. I currently have back pain and three days ago had penetrative sex with a new partner for the first time. He also gave me oral sex. Today I have noticed tiny lesions. I am so scared.
I’m not sure if he has had cold sores before. If he has is it possible for him to get them genitally?
And if he has not been exposed to HSV1 will he get it 100%? or in both places? Since he gave me oral and he penetrated?
Please help

Brief Answer:
Regarding HSV
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
Genitak herpes is usually caused by HSV 2 and oral herpes with HSV 1 but this distinction is not exclusive. So, if you had HSV 2, it is possible for you to get HSV 1 from receiving oral sex, if he is infected. He may get HSV 2 from you, both orally and genital, even if you did not have any visible sores at the time, as the virus can be passed on during clinically asymptomatic phases though the risk is much less than if there are visible sores of herpes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

I think you have misunderstood.
I received genital herpes from a oral-genital encounter. So I have HSV1 on my genitals.
My question was if he has already been exposed to HSV1 orally can he get it genitally too? Since we had penetrative sex.
And if he has never been exposed to HSV1 can he get it both orally and genitally because we had both forms of inter course?

hi.
Yes, he can get oral and genital HSV 1 too if he has never been exposed. HSV is a local infection and infection at one site doesn't prevent future infections at a different site. So, if someone already has oro labial herpes, he/she can still get HSV 1 on genital skin.
Take care
