I just purchased 3 additional follow up questions….best money I ever spent in this ridiculous saga.

Ok. Let’s assume for argument sake I have oral and genital hsv1 with no lesions.

When I feel prodome (eg hip pain or leg numbness or vaginal burning etc) if I get no lesions, where am I contagious? Am I contagious in the entire boxer short region I.e my thighs, my bum, or just my vagina? I am confused.

What if I get sores inside my vagina….do condoms then protect my partner or does vaginal fluid carry the virus too? I heard somewhere that thick skin will not shed the virus. Only sores on thick skin will shed it…is that true?

I apologize if my questions are annoying…..I just can’t imagine this is anything but herpes. I am sure you have heard that a million times.

I have children as well so I am a bit more nervous.

Thanks again
