      I am a female who recently dated a guy (haven’t seen him in about two months) and he disclosed he had genital herpes (doesn’t know which one), was diagnosed late 2019, and doesn’t take antivirals (although I believe takes Lysine).

      My questions:
      – We never had PIV sex, I never gave him oral, but he did give me oral. Any risk?
      – We performed mutual masturbation, never during an OB, and he would cum on my lower stomach. Any risk?
      – Naked cuddling, naked making out, etc. His parts might’ve touch my parts, it’s been awhile though and memory on exact things evades me. Risk levels here?

      My doctor won’t test unless there’s an active sore, and as far as I know, I have not experienced any symptoms. I’m really only asking this all because I starting to date someone new and he’s really great and I don’t want to expose him to anything unnecessarily if there’s a chance I have it and could be taking steps to lower any kind of transmission.

      Thank you for helping me with my concern and anxiety! I feel like I’ve gone down a rabbit hole researching and there’s so much conflicting information out there.

      Apologies, this just popped into my head: I did have a yeast infection in June. However, meds helped it within the hour so I assume that means it wasn’t an initial outbreak, correct?

      Nope, not for the transmission of genital herpes
      – We performed mutual masturbation, never during an OB, and he would cum on my lower stomach. Any risk?
      Nope
      – Naked cuddling, naked making out, etc. His parts might’ve touched my parts, it’s been a while though and memory of exact things evades me. Risk levels here?
      Unless there was active rubbing between the two of you, with naked genitals, there is no risk.

      If your doctor won’t do an antibody test and you still want one, you can order your own IgG test online.
