Can you get oral HSV-1 if you have genital HSV-1?

Hey everyone,
My girlfriend currently has a cold sore cluster on her chin, and we have spent a lot of time together lately. This afternoon when we were together I started to feel a little itch on my chin which has persisted for about an hour, and has since gone away. We kissed hello and goodbye, though I am wondering if I have any cause for concern?
I have genital HSV-1, and was diagnosed in December, but was infected long before then though I had just not had an initial outbreak. I am wondering if it is possible to develop oral HSV-1 if you already have the herpes antibodies in your system from genital HSV-1?

Think yourself lucky I wish mine was type 1 down there as type 1 is not at home in that region and seldom shows its face after the initial infection

So hopefully those antibodies will do the trick!

The incubation period is 2-4 days I've read, and I only started feeling a slight itch this afternoon ( a couple of hours ago )
