Because many don't really know the facts. Don't believe everything you read on the web; anybody can post anytyhing. Be selective in the sites you read.
Why some websides said you can get the virus of herpes by touching the infected area?
Hypotheticallly yes, there is a risk. But in 30+ years in the STD business, I have never seen or even heard of a case. You're not going to be the first one. Just drop it. I won't have any further comments.
hypothetically, so even if i had fingered a woman and then touched my penis there wouldnt be a risk to herpes?
They call them sexually transmitted because you have to have sex to transmit them (duh); and fingering doesn't count. No STDs are transmitted by fingering or any other hand-to-genital contact, regardless of nail biting or cuts on the fingers. There might be some theoretical risk of herpes, but it almost never happens; in 30+ years working in a busy STD clinic, I have never see such a case. You are not at risk.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
