Transmitting HSV2 through blood? (Female to male)

[none44]

I just found out that I have HSV2, about 3 months ago. 1 week before  I found out though , i had sex (with a condom) with someone, and i noticed that i was bleeding, but i was nowhere close to my period. I noticed that I would bleed each time during sex. Now that I know what I have, I read that it’s normal to bleed during intercouse when you have hsv2. Could the bleeding potentially  infect the guy I was with? He also happens to have a pretty long penis, so that could of been poking my cervix. I’m just worried about the blood that he was in contact with. Which by the way we didn’t notice that I was bleeding till we were done, since the room was really dark.

First of all, I don't want to lecture you, but you have a moral,  ethical, and legal responsibility to inform any and all partners of your hsv2 status before having intercourse with them. They have a right to know.

Second, I'm not sure what you've read or heard, but hsv2 is not transmitted via blood or fluids. It is transmitted via skin to skin contact accompanied by vigorous rubbing and friction. Wearing a condom significantly reduces the risk of transmission, but it does not completely eliminate it.
