If you tested negative for hsv1 but positive for hsv2 can you pass the herpes virus orally to someone...if you only gave them oral sex? please help
Any idea how you got herpes on your buttocks?
Skin to skin contact with active sores is generally the way Herpes is transmitted.although it can also be transmitted during the prodrome stage which precedes an outbreak,also viral shedding can happen at various times which are pretty much unknown when no visible outbreak is present,however if your outbreaks are contained to your buttocks and not on your Genitals I believe when the HSV virus is outwith it's prefered site it loses a fair amount of it's punch,which is not to be confusd with the fact that it is still infectious.
If the outbreaks are small it might be an idea to cover the affected area with a Mepore dressing to avoid any skin to skin contact by anyone else during an outbreak.

The hand isn't really that easily transmitted to. There is a possibility of the fingers near the top to get it but the rest of the hand, nah! Skin is to thick. Scabbing definitely has less chance of transmitting since the virus lost the battle and is retreating.
