Transmission of HSV2
My girlfriend has HSV2, A recent blood test confirmed that I do not have it. I was wondering what my chances of getting it are. we use condoms and wash up after sex, as well as her taking her medicine twice a day. I do preform unprotected oral sex; as I understand transmission to the mouth is slim.
Here are my concerns. I sometimes kiss her after preforming oral sex, then she will preform oral sex on me- is this a way for it to be transmitted?
Also I usually pull out after sex, yank off the condom and then masterbate on her (no contact with body), I was worried that it may be on my hand from touching the condom.
And finally does anyone know the effectiveness of the carragean lube to minimize contact during the obivouse grinding that happens during sex.
I really really like this girl and would like to keep our sex life as normal as possible. I feel we are taking all the precautions we can, i.e. meds,condoms,hygene and no sex during outbreaks. Additonal info, she has had the virus for about 7 years so I would imagine her shedding is not happening all the time.
thoughts or suggestions are welcome!
Thanks.

I've read little about the product you mentioned. Last I knew the lubes weren't too impressive for reducing infection with herpes but I haven't kept up on it.
Yes ma'am. We are good other than the "H" Issue. Thank you for giving me some what of peace of mind about the situation. Unfortunatly, given the nature of the beast, I have a feeling I will be looking over my shoulder for a while, I am not letting her know that I am doing this, she is VERY important to me and would hate to hurt her feelings. On a related note I believe you said you live with HSV 2 as well? Just wondering if you know\have any expierence with "Divine 9" Carragean lube? I have read this will give us a little extra added protection (even though I realize 99% is pretty damned good.) Aprently it inactivates or binds to and block the ability to transmit?

Do you have the URL to the hand book. I would like to glance over it one more time.
Thanks Grace, Yeah I read it...Just was not sure sure about the specifics. I know she is not a Biohazard.She is a sweet wonderful person who deserves nothing but the best. I feel bad for even worrying about it, I have never dealt with anything like this. She said she got it the second time she had unprotected sex with her ex with out an outbreak, Luck of the draw I guess.... I also got conflicing info from planned parenthood as well. Sigh, I would like to just quit thinking about it, I have spent 28 years of my life trying to avoid STD's. I have slept with some odd 38 women in my life, Chances are I have encountered far worse. If you have not noticed I am a bit of a hypocondriac. Thank you for the info.

You are reading content posted in the Herpes Community
Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
no one with herpes sheds the virus "all the time".
if you two did nothing but avoid sex anytime she had anything going on genitally, you'd be 96% likely each year NOT to contract hsv2 from her. That includes oral sex too. If you also added the precautions of her taking daily suppressive therapy and using condoms, you'd be 99% likely each year NOT to contract hsv2 from her. Did you read the free herpes handbook like was suggested the last time you posted?
no, you masturbating on her and touching the condom isn't a risk for you.
really, her having herpes doesn't change much about your sex life at all. she isn't a walking biohazard!
