Scared
Hi, so I got this new guy at school. He seems to have a bit of a skin problem and I can see some wounds or red marks around his mouth (it looks like if someone has a scab and then kinda peeled it?) Im so scared and thinks that he might have herpes and has intention to give me herpes. He's been getting his arm around the back of my neck and sometimes just having hand to hand contact (joking around, shaking hands) Can herpes been transmitted this way? I don't really have any wounds around my arm but he wrapped his arms around around my neck for seconds. I kinda splashed water to my neck minutes after. Thanks
