I understand your concern regarding having HSV-1 (genital) and the possibility of also contracting HSV-1 (oral). You're absolutely right to approach it cautiously, as having one type does increase the risk of getting the other through viral shedding and transmission.
To explain further, HSV-1 typically causes oral herpes or cold sores around the mouth, while HSV-1 (genital) causes genital herpes. However, it is possible for either virus to infect the opposite area through oral-genital contact. So if you acquired HSV-1 (genital) from someone who had oral herpes, there is a chance you could get HSV-1 (oral) as well, even if you haven't experienced any cold sore outbreaks yet.
I would advise speaking to your healthcare provider about getting tested specifically for HSV-1 (oral) to know for certain. They can also provide guidance on managing both types, reducing transmission risks, and treatment options if needed.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm here to provide a supportive, judgment-free environment to discuss these topics. Taking care of your sexual health is so important.
