Genital Herpes
Ive had hsv 2 for ten yrs ... Rarely have any outbreaks or problems.. However I have a question. Sorry for the blunt details.... But my bf fingered me, then put his fingers in my mouth.... Gross, I know... Then I gave him oral sex. I did not have an outbreak at the time... But could I give him genital herpes basically from contact from my genital to his fingers to my mouth, To his genitals? My only concern is bc of moist environments... Thanks, again sorry for the details!
Worried bc this guy has been a great friend for a long time...it just went too far...I hate to know what he would think of me I I tell him. What Happened the other night will never happen again bc I don't want to mess up the friendship or even lose it bc of a sexual relationship...he agrees...so that's why I've been worried...simply bc he is a good friend that I don't want to lose.
why so worried about what you could've given him instead of more appropriately concerned about what he could've given you?????
not likely you have hsv2 orally. Even if you did, statistically it doesn't shed much at all and incredibly unlikely you'd transmit it to a partner during oral sex.

I guess what im saying is could I have hsv 2 orally and never know it considering I had my oral sex with my ex...who i got the hav2 from in the first place...:then could I have passed it to the new guy? How common would oral hsv 2 transfer to male genitals during oral sex? Like I said I have never even thought for a second I could have type 2 orally and never know it!!! Oh I'm really scared now!
Can I have oral hsv if I've had hsv in my genitals??? I have NEVER had any symptoms whatsoever in or around my mouth, neither has my ex...now I'm really freaked out I have could have that and I've never known it and gave it to this guy!!!! Oh no!!
you can also contract std's orally from performing unprotected oral sex too. always a good idea to only give and receive protected oral to best protect yourself.
did you have your hpv vaccines too?

I haven't read it yet...but I will! I had been with the same guy for 9 yrs...so I've never worried about it bc he had it too...but now I'm dating again so Im worrying about things I haven't had to worry about since being diagnosed! I'll get the igg when I go back to my obgyn in January. Thank u so much!
no, his only real risk was if you have hsv1 orally - you performed oral sex on him which was a potential risk for that. his touching you then putting his fingers in his mouth and touching his genitals was not a risk for him.
most people who have hsv1, don't get obvious cold sores to know it which is why the igg blood testing is so helpful.
have you read the free herpes handbook yet that we recommend?
oh and keep asking questions! Eventually we get to where you have the answers you need :)

I will! I actually didn't realize there was a blood test til I got on this website! But to be clear...I took your answer that it was unlikely he would get herpes on his fingers, but could he have transferred the viruse from my genitals to his genitals by way of hand to mouth then my mouth to his penis? Could it have stayed active/alive from place to place and end up setting up camp in his genitals, not fingers...again I have never had a cold sore around or in my mouth so it would have to come from my genital area, then go to his genitals by way of my mouth.....thanks, sorry if I'm confused or confusing u. :)
be sure to seek out the blood testing for yourself to know your full status so that you do have the info you need to make educated decisions with future partners :)
Which is something I never do...I always talk to them first...and now I'm really worried about it!
I'm not sure what they did...it was back in 2002. I dont know of it was classed bc of placement or if it was typed at the obgyn office. Haven't talked to him yet...that's why I'm so concerned....had a little to much to drink and I let it go too far.
if you only had a swab test then you don't know your full herpes status. not a bad idea to seek out a type specific herpes igg blood test to know your full hsv1 and hsv2 status. also just to confirm - did they type your swab as hsv2 or just assume hsv2 since it was genital?
did you talk to him about your herpes and ask if he's ever been tested?

I do not have type 1. I was dx with the swab test. I just didn't know if the part of the virus could go from my genitals to his gentials by way of my mouth after his fingers were in my mouth. No oral hsv involved at all.
let's start at the beginning - how were you originally diagnosed as having genital herpes? has your partner been tested to know his own status? do you know your hsv1 status too?
why is it gross for your bf to finger you and then put his fingers in his mouth? Is it a real risk for him for your herpes? no it is not. unless he had cuts on his hands or bitten cuticles, the skin on the hands is too thick to be easily infected with herpes.
since you performed unprotected oral sex - have you both talked about std's and testing and such yet? You have to remember that it's so much more than just about protecting a partner from the herpes you know you have , it's also about protecting you from what they might have too!!
