Hsv and hiv transmission
Doctor,
I had protected sex with a CSW twice in a span of an hour and unprotected oral sex. After intercourse I noticed that midway down my shaft where the circumcision marks are there was a very small (about 3 mm) sore. I have been diagnosed with hsv, and I am concerned now that I may be at risk for hiv. Although this portion was covered with a condom, do I have risk of catching Hiv? I am afraid either I was at risk during oral unprotected sex and also through vaginal fluid which could have gotten onto this sore when I was taking off the condom. Looking forward to hearing your answer.
