Could this be genital herpes?
I am so worried as I have been dating a man who has genital herpes and although we have not had sexual intercourse, he often touches me in my genital area and buttocks. About 5 days after our last encounter, I began experiencing pain in my butt crack and my *** hole is very red. Now and then I will get a sharp pain by the hole. I do not see any visible lesions, however, I am petrified that I have contracted genital herpes anyways. Please help.
nah, like we said, it's not that easy to catch!! Waring isn't being rude; it's his charm and we love him that way :) It's good you are coming here and asking questions and not going to the internet because there is a LOT of bad info on there!!! You are fine!!
Firstly, you do not have to be so rude in responding to my concern. Aren't forums places to express one's concerns and receive information/advice on them?
Secondly, since I am perhaps "ignorant" on the transmission of herpes, I have come to this forum to "educate" myself, as you said.
With that, I have another question about oral herpes transmission. If someone with a cold sore under their nose touches it and then touches another person's hand/arm/leg/back/neck, etc, can the virus be passed onto them?
Thank-you for your time.

What type of herpes does he have? What type(s) do YOU have? Have you even been tested to know what you have or don't have?
Jesus,you're not going to get genital herpes from his touching you with his fingers. Haven't you educated yourself about it yet?
If you can't handle the anxiety around your partner having herpes, you need to leave him and let him find someone who CAN handle it.
I'd say the first thing to do is know absolutely which types both of you have. Then make decisions about how you want to proceed sexually. Right now you just sound really ignorant about herpes. Educate yourself, and go from there.

You need to talk with him about your fear. Your anxiety is only going to get worse.
Doesn't sound like herpes at all.. This disease isn't that easy to catch. It's not herpes.
