HSV-2 Transmission Question

[MDoggy]

Hi Terri, thank you for being a great resource.

I am reaching out to ask about my odds of transmission. 25 year old male foreplayed with Female Sex Worker 10 days ago. Had a condom on, there was no penetration. Female was above me and rubbed tip of my covered penus on her clitoris. She then had a bit of vaginal fluid (creamy texture come out) and it went down the condom and landed near my left testicle. We stopped and I clean myself with two wet wipes and left (max time 45 seconds). I went home and cleaned myself with soap/showered, I also poured some alcohol on my testicles to disinfect them and try to see if I had cuts which I didn’t feel any stinging.

4 days later I had a wart like structure appear on my right testicle. Had it checked out and doctor said it’s not HSV.

At 10 days, I have not had symptoms other than the wart and the foreskin tip/meatus at the top of my penus is a bit swollen and red. Notice some bumps beside the meatus but seem to be part of the head. Bumps are not single red bumps or have white tips, they are just part of the swollen area. Not itchy unless I think about it, not painful to pee.

Plan on getting a general STD panel done (rapid HIV) testing in the next two days, and plan to retest in 6 weeks for the HSV-2 IgG.

What are my odds if there wasn’t any skin to skin contact – friction, condom was placed correctly, but the vaginal fluid did touch where the testicles and shaft connect at the bottom of the condom (even though it was cleaned off in seconds). Assuming the lady is HSV positive.

A wart from that contact would not show up in 10 days post infection – too soon. The bumps sound like normal anatomy to me.

OK, but I think unless you have had other contacts that concern you, this shouldn’t concern you – the contact was incredibly safe. Remember that there are false positive on the IgG test in the low positive range.

Incredilby low ! I don’t even consider this a risky situation.
