Risk of Herpes with open sore
Hi there,
I have a slight open cut/sore/tear under my foreskin, which comes about (along with some minor tears) after sexual intercourse, due to a rather tight foreskin.
I recently had protected intercourse with 2 csw, whilst the open cut was not fully healed. It had some liquid coming out of it, but I had unprotected oral, and protected intercourse. The massage was quite intimate, and she did rub her genital area around my penis quite frequently, although there was no penetration. I have also had cold sores before on my mouth.
Am I at high risk of herpes? Both CSW did not appear to have any outbreaks, blisters or lumps around their genitalia.
Please can you advise.
Many thanks.

honestly you should've never had sex or oral sex until this was healed. it does increase your risk but still it's a low risk over all. having sex when this issue is present in the future is something you should avoid. don't tempt the fates and all that sort of thing you know? just because you get lucky a few times, doesn't mean your luck will hold out forever.
Thanks Grace, that's really put my mind to rest.
Just for information purposes, however, could you or somebody else explain why so much emphasis is placed upon the dangers of fluid exchange. My open cut/sore had small amounts of fluid and maybe blood coming out, but you appear to inform me that STDs (in particular Herpes) are unlikely to result, even if the bodily fluids mix, which they did in this instance (as my sore did sting when her fluid touched my open wound).
How exactly is herpes contracted? Is it only likely when there's a noticeable outbreak, and when there is intimate skin contact?
Would appreciate any advice if possible just for information purposes.
Many thanks.

you can get std's from this sort of contact but the risk is really low. You also can get std's from unprotected oral sex but also the risk is rather low.
honestly there's really no reason for any testing unless you get any symptoms genitally.
