What can i do if my boyfriend has herpes simplex 1, how at risk am i of contracting it?

High: Your risk is quite high of contracting the herpes virus from your boyfriend. If he knows when he is getting a lesion, you should avoid contact with that area to minimize your risk. There is medication that he can take to decrease the risk fo transmission.
