Not sure if this is a possible herpes contraction

[vikasrobins]

Hey all first of I just want to say thank you for taking your time out and reading my question.

So around last week i had a interaction with a hooker. I didnt kiss her or anything but she touched her lips with two fingers and then she touched my lips with the same fingers two seconds after i freaked out and left. At the time it didnt look like she had a sore, but when i calmed down i went back and it looked like she had one. Is this a possible way to transmit herpes? Please help. I know have a canker sore on the inside of my lip its pretty small, and my lip feels like it is about to rip soon, but it is in the same spot my lip always rips since i was a kid. but its got me even more paranoid since this experience just happened to me.

You are right life360! Imma try to stay strong  hopefully i dont have another relapse. Sometimes its just good to hear comforting words from knowledgeable people like yourself thanks bro

Your penis touching your scrotum would not spread herpes. Herpes is not spread but travels up a nerve to the surface. Its not like poison ivy!. I thought you were going to put this behind you! The testical area is not a place for the virus to be absorbed as it prefers soft mucus type areas like the penis shaft and hsv1 prefers the oral area not genital. Also hair on the testicals can act as a barrier.
As mentioned before, those most at risk are in long term mono relationships where one person is infected.
Your exposure is not worth all this worry.

say i contracted the hsv on my genitals, if my penis touches my scrotum, is my penis going to get it? since its constantly resting on my balls? Im just so nervous, i got like a million white spots on my balls like literally every spot but i think those are normal because they all have a hair coming out of them so i think theyve always been there? my memory of what it looked like before this bad incident is hazy i cant remember. any insight? Im just nervous i contracted hsv on my scrotum off this hooker who sucked on my nutsack for a bit, dang man the things you do when you horny, ****. this online community is awesome, everyones so supportive i been reading everyones posts all day i wish i had knowledge to help someone out, but as of right now im just a troubled individual, i hope someone can help me out as well as i wish nothing but the best for all of you who are going through something.

Thanks man hopefully i dont have to bother u again but if i do i hope you dont mind responding thank you so much man

[Life360_Dave]

Her not having any lip sores at the time you can pretty much rule out herpes. This is really not how its passed at it prefers areas like the penis shaft not the testicle area.

Anyone please? Some help?

[vikasrobins]

Thank you so much in advance again

[vikasrobins]

Oh yeah i get that,im done with the touching part with the fingers, now i was just asking about her sucking on my balls thats kinda got me worried now thats why

[Life360_Dave]

since oral hsv1 only sheds about 3% of the time its low risk anyway throw in a one time affair and its next to zero. But remember you had no risk anyway with the touching.

[vikasrobins]

hey life 360 another question sorry to be such a bother. but it is more likely to get herpes from shedding or the actual sore itself? Also ive read in many of your posts that ppl get herpes from a long term relationship where one partner is infected. is a onetime encounter mean the risk is low? just wondering if you could help me out man thank you so much.

[Life360_Dave]

Thank you very much

Life360 ive looked at how many people you helped and damn man. props to you for taking your time out of your day to help all these people because honestly man i probably wouldnt even be on this site unless i had problems and you are out here helping everyone you got like 17 thousand plus posts. Seriously I commend you brother, your a good man and i hope everything in your life works out well man.

Hsv1 oral only sheds about 5% of the time where genital is about 20%. I would not be worried about your testicals at all. The shaft is them more likely area to contact it.

[vikasrobins]

Thank you for that insight life360 i appreciate the quick response. I also had another question regarding shedding, is it more common to have shedding orally or genital shedding? I am worried that this worker may have orally shed on my ballsack and giving me genital herpes while giving me fellatio and eventually going to my nut sack region

Hi, herpes is not transmitted as you describe, Needs direct rubbing contact to force the virus into the nerve.
