Follow up question
Hi Terri,
I have a follow up question my original post: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Herpes/Chances-of-HSV2-infection/show/1080918?personal_page_id=496035&post_id=post_4990374
Yesterday I noticed to small red dots under the glans of my penis. They don't hurt, itch or anything. Just look different. I started to panic thinking that I might have gotten HSV 2 anyway.I did kiss the girl is there a good chance I got it that way? Again we didn't have oral sex and I wore a condom the entire time. I know you said to test around 4 months but that seem so far away! Is there any type of test that I can take sooner?
I should mention that I did see my Dr. this morning and he thinks that it is just irritation of some kind.
I know you say that my chances are really low but really how low? Is it possible to give a percentage? Sorry - but I'm kind freaking out.... :-( Thanks much in advance.

Kissing a girl or kissing her thighs would not give you genital herpes - there is contact that would transmit the virus from anywhere else to your penis, right?
If you test negative for HSV 2 at about 6 weeks post exposure, then there is about a 70% chance that you aren't infected, those are pretty good odds, right? You could test now if its has been at least 6 weeks.

Sorry - one more piece of missing information; I also did kiss the girl's thighs briefly a couple of times. Does that increase the risk?
Thank you!
Thank you!
