so 2 days ago i had sex with someone who had a coldsore on their lip. we didnt kiss & he didnt give me oral sex. how much at risk am i from catching genital hsv1? obv i dont know if he accidentally touched it during sex but im pretty certain he didnt.

i have no signs or symptoms currently but really hoping for some reassurance cos i have severe anxiety

thanks so much

    So you just had sex immediately without doing anything else? I would say no but who knows if he touched his lips with his finger and then touched his penis to you know put it in you or using lubricant - if you did - and lubricate it, again by using his finger or something else idk if he fingered you afterwards...

      Well maybe he touched himself without thinking. Give it few more days and see how it goes if something pops up in your area..
