transmission question

[workingthorughanxiety123]

Have a question about 2 potential scenarios.

Is there a chance for transmission (female to male) if a male performs oral sex on a female positive with HSV2 without symptoms on Valtrex?

Is there a chance for transmission (female to male) if a male fingers a female positive with HSV2 without symptoms on Valtrex. Also- if this male then touched himself immediately after fingering, would there be any risk involved with that act?

Thank you.

There is a small risk of acquiring HSV 2 orally by giving someone with genital HSV 2 oral sex.
If the fingers of the male are intact, there is no risk of transmission to his fingers by inserting them in the vagina of a woman who has herpes. We also don’t believe that herpes is transmitted through hands in the way you ask.
