Hey I had previously asked a question but I have more.
1.) is it likely to transmit hsv1 Genitally threw Genital to Genital how likely is it plus I’m on daily Valtrex?
2.) we where posed to have a date night so I took 2 pills as a precaution not sure if it does any good. But anyway we had sex. After we drank a bit. So drunk sex he didn’t wear a condom but I didn’t have no prodrome signals or no outbreak is it likely he got this?
3.)he tried to go down on me which I stopped him cause it’s hsv-1 which means I got it from oral trying to avoid this to him? But he moved my hand n maybe did 3 licks before I got him to focus on something else.
4.) can you provide info on Genital to Genital hsv-1 to my knowledge he has never had a cold sore or anything?
Please help asap

Genital to genital transmission is highly unlikely with HSV 1 and taking daily Valtrex reduces the risk even further.
It is unlikely that you transmitted to your partner in the situation you describe. The Valtrex is likely helpful though not completely effective.
Has he been tested to know if he has HSV 1 yet? Asking him about cold sores is not adequate to know if he is infected. Can you let me know?

No,I can't call and see if they test for HSV 1. Any reasonable lab can test for HSV 1 so that's a given. And I can't find if he's been tested. You'll have to talk to him about this and perhaps look at his test results in person. He can ask for a copy, they are his to see.

Question about l-lysine 1000mg 3 Times daily does that do anything along with the daily Valtrex also what about olive leaf extract? He hasn’t shown no symptoms of getting hsv1 is it safe to say he is in the clear?

The research does not support the use of lysine either to reduce transmission or symptoms, but remember that research is about averages, so some people might find it helpful. Same with olive leaf extract. But I'm fine with people using those things as long as they don't skip antiviral therapy if they are trying to reduce transmission, like you are.
Is he in the clear? If you are infected and he is not, and you don't know that since he has not been tested that you know about, then there will always be some risk, albeit very low, that he could become infected through intercourse.
If you could find out that he is already infected, as is more than half the population, it would certainly take a weight off your mind,I think.
