Can you TRANSMIT through a regular cut?
Hi all, while trimming my pubic hair I cut myself on the labia, a tiny cut. I have GHSV2. Can I now transmit via this cut? I have no lesions at present and no symptoms but if it's even remotely possible I will abstain from sex... just given the fact the virus isn't in blood I wasn't sure if I was still safe. Can't find much about this online. Thanks in advance for any responses.
The cut itself is no threat to anyone. Sometimes trauma can trigger an outbreak though. Otber than tbat tbe cut won't affect shedding ratws ir increase the likelyhood of spreading hsv
