Hi, over the weekend myself and the guy I am seeing had sex. we did use condoms but did have unprotected oral sex (multiple times). Today I have broken out with a cold sore (day after sex). I was wondering if there is any chance that I may have given him genital herpes/cold sores. I was also wondering (probably a silly question) but if kissing him and then him giving me oral sex over the weekend could result in me getting genital herpes. Thanks xx
