Have any of your partners ever went down
on you when they had a pimple-like cold
sore on their lip? If so, did you get
genital herpes? My partner has a healed
one on his lip, and I felt my lip itching
the other day (I usually get one of these
per year) and now I have one ... and we
kissed before we had intercourse the other
night and he went down on me for a little
bit before we did the deed and now I'm
afraid I could have genital herpes. What
are the chances for this?

Unfortunately, the chances are quite
high!
Even WITHOUT a cold sore actually present
on his lip, he can still spread it to you
if he goes down on you. This is from
'asymptomatic viral shedding'. This is why
herpes can be spread even if someone does
not have a sore on them.
I have genital herpes, but not from a
mouth cold sore. I take daily suppressive
therapy, that keeps outbreaks away and
prevents spreading it.
IF you do not wish for him to spread it to
you, he either needs to take daily
suppressive therapy, or needs to use a
dental dam.

the chances are high like carifary aid
if you knew he had it then why did you
allow him to go down on you?

I would get tested for oral and genital
herpes. Both of you should be tested so
you can see what each other has. Then you
can take the necessary precautions and if
needed preventative therapy. As the other
posters stated, there is a high chance you
could have gotten genital herpes.
You as a couple need to sit down and talk
about what you would like to do. I have
herpes also and I have had 2 relationships
where I have had to do this. Its hard but
you have to do it for yourself and him.
There is no need to get herpes if you can
stop it. Best wishes
