I have HSV-2 and am now trying to live a normal life after my first outbreak. The sores are healing rapidly, but I was a bit nervous about the complications...
I wash my genitals in the shower in the morning, put some baby powder on the blisters. The only time I touch the sores is in the shower, and I immediately wash my hands with soap afterwards. Also, I use 2 towels, one for my body, another for my genitals.
I am very careful while urinating, I hold my penis through my boxers to avoid direct contact, and wash my hands right after.
Even though I have NO blisters on my fingers, is it likely to spread it in my ears or eyes (if I scratch myself, for example) ? My hands are always very clean, but since I can't really SEE the virus, I'm getting paranoid.
Right now, my genitals is the only place that has blisters, and since I don't want to wash my hands repeatedly like a maniac, how careful do I to be when I have an outbreak ?
