Very likely. HSV 1 is contracted via oral contact, especially when some has a cold sore.

Does touching a cold sore on the lip then touching genitals have a high chance of transferring HSV to the genitals? GF has cold sore, we are avoiding oral sex and kissing for now but wonder if touching genitals and normal sex is still okay?
