HSV 1 AND 2

MT BF HAS REOCCURING SORES ON HIS LEFT BUTTOX AND THE BACK OF HIS LEFT LEG I SHOWED A PICTURE OF IT TO MY DR AND HE SAID IT IS HERIPES, BUT HE IS SCARED TO GET TESTS DONE. I WANT TO KNOW IF HE HAS ONLY HAD IT ON HIS BUTTOX AND LEG ONLY ON THE LEFT SIDE CAN HE TRANSMITT IT TO ME DURING A OUTBREAK SENCE HE HAS NEVER HAD IT ON HIS GENETALS?

yes he can transmit it to you when he has obvious symptoms and periodically in between.  it's still shedding from his penis periodically even though so far his ob's are on his buttocks and thighs if this is indeed herpes going on.  at this point you both can seek out type specific herpes igg blood tests and go from there to see who has what.

i've done research and it resembles a form of eczemz and shingles because i've never had
any symptoms but we are carefull now.

you can't assume it's anything - you both need to follow up on this for better answers.

if you are planning on having children, this is fairly important to follow up on.
