No, genital herpes (HSV-2) typically does not spread to the oral area through one-time contact like you described. HSV-1 is more commonly associated with cold sores on the mouth and can be transmitted via oral-genital contact. If you have concerns about possible transmission or symptoms, it's always best to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice and testing options.
