Hello to anyone,
I recently posted about a sore I thought I may have made myself by masterbating into my boxers. It did scab and fell off and now, 13 days later, a red spot still remains. I did not get it swabbed like I should've, but I am now convinced this was probably an outbreak.
I've previously tested negative for both HSV1 and HSV2 twice years before. After my last rounds of igg tests, I've had sex with a woman who tested negative a few times. I've never had sex with anyone else.
However, I have had physical contact with a woman whose herpes status is unknown. I've never had my genitals inside her's and we've never grinded on each other, although there were probably times I used my penis to lightly touch her from time to time in her groin area in a teasing way. I have also used my fingers on her.
We have done oral many times.
Question is, does HSV2 usually require grinding or rubbing to transmit? I know shedding could happen in the boxer area for her, but is it quantifiable? A lot? A little? Could this behavier, no sex but maybe some contact here and there, considered high risk?
Hoping that little spot, which I though might have been a friction burn but it lingering concerns me, is HSV 1 and not 2...trying to figure out possibilities before testing which, I know, is probably a crapshoot.
Thank you for any insite
