Autoinoculation: I think you're asking if your own herpes could be transmitted by your partner's penis to your mouth. There is no risk at all. Infection of a new body part with HSV is called autoinoculation. It is very rare once herpes has been present more than a few months; the immune system prevents it. You probably couldn't infect your own mouth even if you tried. No worries!
