I should also mention that, while I have never had symptoms of HSV1, my parents and sister get them, so I’m sure I have been exposed to it at some point in my life. I have also had shingles two years ago, although I believe they are pretty unrelated to HSV2.
I know that the condom does give off some degree of protection, however, I am extremely worried about the base of the penis which had to have been exposed.
The anxiety of this is what is killing me. I keep thinking that my legs feel tired and I am just waiting to experience flu symptoms, even though I have had a flu shot. I’ve been pretty much popping Lorazepam like Pez in order to deal with the stress and anxiety, but even that doesn’t seem to help much. I travel a lot for work and I petrified of having a breakout while I am halfway across the country. I am also going to Germany in two weeks and have no idea what to do if something happens out there.
Please help.
