Yes: HSV 1, oral herpes is very common and your partner likely already has it. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Some basics: HSV 1 and HSV 2 are sometimes considered interchangeable due to variations in sexual practices. HSV 1 is most often linked to cold sores & your antibodies would remain positive through life after a single childhood episode.That you don't remember & don't have outbreaks is a lucky break. I would not obsess over this issue.
