Reply To: Discordant HSV 2 couple

Hi Terri,

I believe that I still had one follow-up question left with my renewed membership? (If not, please let me know and I will renew again) With regards to mutual masturbation where both partners touch eachother and when the infected partner does not have any active lesions, the risk of transmission is qualified as extremely low from what I gather. Is this because in theory there could be transmission of the virus or have you seen instances throughout your career where a person actually comtracted hsv2 because of mutual masturbation where no direct genital contact took place?

Thanks!
