Hi all. My girlfriend has genital HSV-2 and has a used tube of zovirax. Her last use of the cream was a week ago.
I am negative for HSV-2 but positive for HSV-1. I do get cold sores every now and then. So, I was feeling prodromal symptoms for a cold sore and decided it was a smart idea to use my girlfriend's cream without taking into account the possibility of contracting oral HSV-2.
My question is, am I at risk of orally contracting HSV-2 by using my girlfriend's cream?
