MC HELP!!
I was recently diagnosed with genital molluscum contagiousm. Thankfully, this is an STD that can be treated and cured quite quickly, unlike Herpes and HIV. However, before I was diagnosed I believed the bumps to be sebaceous cysts or glands and I'm sure I've touched the bumps, thought nothing of it and didn't wash my hands and then put my hands in my mouth. I am starting a new relationship and I will of course wait until the MC clears to engage in any sort of sexual activity, but I'm terrified that due to putting my hands in my mouth I have possibly transferred the MC to my mouth and I am scared of kissing my new partner now (although we have no as of yet)...any insight?

My mouth or others?*
Transmission to myself or others?
there is no need for you to worry about transmition in this manner, but you may want to wait at least 3 months after you've cleared MC as reoccurances can happen in that time frame.
Oops, sorry, meant that for the MC topic not Chlamydia
