Brief Answer:
Yes, you may get genital herpes infection...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, it is possible to get genital herpes infection from HSV1 if someone who performed oral sexual act had sores during that time.

So though you had oral cold sores, there may be chances for genital infection.

For further assessment you may require HSV1 and HSV2 testing/culture after physician consultation.

Along with that avoid direct physical contact/sharing any items with others, if having active sores.

Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
