So recently I decided to try having a FWB, really a one time fling, a little over one month ago. He also has HSV 2 genitally and that's all that I know of, well what he told me. Long story short, I'm concerned that by both of us having HSV, we're more at risk of contracting HIV. Three times as likely I believe. I'm not sure how many people he’s been with since his diagnosis and it's really getting to me. I thought of that before we had sex, but I tried to push that out of my mind. As long as we’re being safe, I would be okay right? So, the day of... We kissed and then proceeded to remove clothing, where we began to start rubbing our genitals against one another. It got to a point where the tip of his penis was right outside the opening of my vagina for a second, nearly pushing through. I panicked a little and told him to stop and use a condom. We had sex, and in between, he gave me oral a couple times. So that was that. We kissed, he gave me oral and had sex in our one and only session. My concern is the few seconds of genital to genital rubbing and close penetration. Would I be at risk for HIV transmission? He didn’t actually insert his penis into my vagina, but it was really close to doing so. Imagine pressing on a balloon with your index finger and not popping it. Weird example, but I think that's the only way I can describe it. I've tried asking him about it (before and after) and like most people, he got offend that I even asked. So that was a fail. I've also tried to research all of this with no luck since we have HSV2.

I have been drying my face with a paper towel and throwing it in the trash because I am afraid of spreading it to my genitals after showering and drying with a towel.
I was told that people with HSV-2 can't have children and even if they do their child is born with serve birth defects, mental retardation or learning disabilites. And that valtrax causes those problems as well as the virus. So what is the actual truth??? AND DON'T LIE TO ME.
Hi all earlier this week my boyfriend and I did not use lubrication for sex and it painfully tugged and potentially tore parts of the skin on his penis head. The next day he saw open wounds along the sides of the head of his penis. Days later there is scabbing and some raised red bumps too. Anyone have experience with penis chafing burns or bumps? Also has anyone had genital herpes with no itching, especially if there were blisters or lesions present? I am HSV2 positive and we are concerned that I passed it. Thanks so much
