I asked a doctor and he said that the virus could easily spread from my female outbreak to his groin area, even if we used a condom. Prevalence is especially high during an outbreak. But everything online says that it needs to enter through a mucous membrane or a cut. I'm confused...does he need to have a cut for it to enter (i.e. mucous membrane) or can it just be spread from skin contact?
Well we all like seconds! I'm sure he's fine.
ok thanks so much for putting my mind at ease before bed! The 1 in 50 statistic was definitely a relief..
You'd be looking more for sores probably with little bubbles and blisters inside each patch. Discrete non connected bumps may not be herpes. The most common associated symptom is that the patches are really itchy and may sting on contact with urine, clothing etc.
red bumps in the vaginal region
What exactly are the symptoms?
symptoms occured about 4 days after sex with my previous partner (thought it was a yeast infection). Thought I was getting better, so had sex with the new partner on day 7. Realized symptoms had worsened, looks like it might be HSV.
I think this is jumping ahead too much. Either way the odds of a transmission here does not exceed about 1 in 50 but could readily be zero.
This will help. Say day zero is day you last had sex with your previous partner BEFORE symptoms appeared, then roughly...
What day did symptoms occur
What day was last sex with previous partner (if not zero)
What day was first sex with new partner
