Transmission with Hands

[aldxoxo]

Hi Terri,

I had a situation happen on October 24th. I hung out with an ex fling. We went to a bar and had some drinks. He went to the bathroom at the bar. 5 minutes after he went to the bathroom, he FINGERED me under my skirt (so rude and inappropriate, I know).

Anyways, we end up at his place later on. He whips his penis out and there is red raw skin inflamed mark looking thing on his penis. I asked him about it. He said earlier that morning at a open house he masterbated really hard resulting in a friction burn. He didn’t seem concerned & swore to god it wasn’t herpes.

Fast forward 3 weeks later: I pooped & was wiping aggressively. I accidentally nicked my skin near my vagina while wiping & it started to sting (vaginal cut). The sting lasted 12 hours then went away. Also, I couldn’t find or see the vaginal cut after inspecting it for hours. 2 days later I get sick with body aches, chills, sneezing, running nose (only lasting 24 hours)

My worry: he touched his penis while peeing then fingered me 5 minutes after. What if it was a herpes sore? Can he transmit it that way to me.

Did I have an outbreak? I’m nervous.

Thoughts?

I don’t feel that this event resulted in transmission. No.

Does herpes even spread that way? Genital to hand to another’s genital? It wasn’t technically directly but it was minutes after

[Terri Warren]

No, not that I can conceptualize nor have I ever hard of it happening.

So you’re saying no even if there was a sore present on the penis?

Thanks for responding. It’s been eating me up for the last week.

**Last question: when you get your first genital outbreak, what comes first- the sores or the fever/swollen glands/chills/etc? Is there a certain order on how it all goes down.

I want to get an IgG test at the 6 week mark.thats a 70% chance of antibodies

I think symptoms most often come together, but sometimes the flu symptoms come first.
Your worry about this is overstated. Try to believe that this is not a risk for transmission
I am closing this thread now.
