Question
My husband performed oral sex on me and i noticed the next day he had a scab on the middle of his lip. He said he bit his lip and is not a cold sore. I'm not too sure if hes telling me the truth. What are the chances of getting herpes simplex 1 on the genitals? When do symptoms show up after exposure? His scab was not around the mouth but on the beginning of his inner lip. Thanks.

I'm not a doctor but please check with your physician about all health matters. I found an article that may help you with your questions. There does seem to be a possibility according to this article. I didn't see where the article listed any time frame. Here is is and hope this helps.
