Herpes and nuvaring
Hello! So I'm having my first outbreak of herpes. I've started voltrex and Tylenol 3s for the pain. The outbreak started mid period. I am supposed to be inserting a new nuvaring in a few days. Sadly the outbreak will not be over. I'm concerned that inserting the ring will allow the virus access to the inside of my vagina. Currently the sores are all external. I will have to touch the sores to be able to effectively insert the nuvaring. Is it safe to do so mid-outbreak or should i wait a few weeks until it clears up. I'm obviously not going to be having sex until the outbreak has cleared.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and offer advice :)

I have HSV2. Thank you for your help! I will fearlessly go ahead with nuvaring as normal now. I'm sure I won't be having sex anytime soon but I'd like to avoid any breakthrough bleeding.
the virus is already there dear.
go ahead and insert your new ring when it's time.
what testing for herpes did you have done? do you have hsv1 or hsv2?
