Hello Terri-

1. I check multiple times a day. Too much perhaps. Foreskin is clear glans has some redness that comes and goes during the day. No lesions yet. No scabbing either.

2. I do not know the other person’s status. Never will unfortunately.

3. I have never been tested. I do have HSV 1 and do take valtrex as needed for flare ups.

My follow ups
1. Have you ever encountered an instance when an area covered by a condom became infected?

2. Does already having hsv 1 make me less likely to have an hsv2 outbreak? In other words could I get it then have it go asymptomatically immediately?

Thank you so much Terri!
