Could you tell me is is possible to get herpes from licking someone's hand while they are masturbating? Person put they hand/fingers in my mouth while they were masturbating. Could I be infected with hsv2 from their genitals in my mouth now. If I did get infected which would be recent (in the last 3 weeks)could I pass the infection along to someone else if I used my saliva to stimulate them? I have looked over other posting and it seems like saliva does not transmit any std is this true? Should I be tested for herpes? And what time period should I wait if I need to test.Would like your opinion. And is it safe for me to have sex

when everyone is telling you this isn't a risk, why can't you believe that?  don't confuse guilt over having a partner other than your wife as being a risk.

Called ASHA took me 3 days and spoke with one counselor but not happy with what she told me. She said you can't get herpes on your tongue and I know this is untrue. but she said that herpes is not passed thru saliva or body fluids. and that herpes is also not passed from genitals to hand to mouth. It must be direct contact. Would you agree or what is your thoughts on this.

Could you please comment on my last question. thanks

[jenkins382]

I am not trying to make you say something to make me feel better but would like to know it there would be herpes in my saliva from the hand to mouth thing have not seen any sores around my mouth or lips. But read on expert form no risk for genital to hand to genital and also genital to hand to mouth. would you agree? Any information would be appreciated

Thanks for getting back with me. This is from a what if standpoint. Have read from other posting that mutual masturbation and genital to hand to mouth transmission does not happen. Is this true?  Also would there be herpes in my saliva if this were a recent infection. Had sex with my wife (had the encounter with someone else) could I have passed herpes to her or was having sex ok

You are highly unlikely to contract hsv2 orally like this.  It's not worth any testing for std's whatsoever.

It's the heat and friction of the sex act that helps get the virus into the body, not just actual contact with the virus. Does this partner even have hsv2 or are you just wondering from a "what if" standpoint?
