      Hi, i have been seeing a girl with HSV2.   

      I kept my pants on but was topless, and she slept naked. In the morning she had put her thigh on my stomach spooning me as I lay on my back. She kept it there for a couple of hours or so. It was hot and warm and a bit sweaty theree by the morning when I woke up. 

      Is there any risk of tranmission from from the heat from this part of the body, as I’ve heard herpes can shed from the boxer short/inner thigh area.  I think it may have been just been outside of this area and further down her leg mostly this but i’m not sure, i just know her thigh was on my stomach during the night. 

      She did not have an outbreak. 

      Thanks in advance. 
      Mick 🙂

      Hey Mick,
      That’s a great question and let me reassure you that there is absolutely no risk from the situation that you describe. While people with genital herpes can have outbreaks anywhere in the boxer shorts area, they only shed virus without and outbreak from the genital and anal area. The skin of the belly, thigh, abdomen and buttocks is too thick for virus to be shed from these areas. It can only be shed asymptomatically from very thin skin like the labia in women, the penile shaft in men and the anus in both men and women.

      Thanks for the clear answer!

      Also is there any risk from her vagina touching other parts of my body like my thigh if we are spooning naked and should she keep her underwear on to be safe? Or is it all safe as long as genitals dont touch.

      Just want to be clear before I see her again 🙂

      Thanks again
      Mick

      It’s all safe as long as there is no genital to genital contact.
