I gave my boyfriend oral after having a cold sore for 2 weeks, i didn't have a sore , just smooth shiny red where the sore was , can he get anything?

Yes: The virus can be transmitted by contact even when the area is completely clear. The exact risk is unknown, as there are factors that may affect transmission. The risk is less than when an actual cold sore is present but the risk exists nonetheless.
