Reply To: Negative result after 4 months. Scrotum touching thigh/buttocks

[Hroesvelg]

Nurse terri:

That tiny wound closed within 4 days and it has left what it seems a swollen follicule. Honesty I am pretty scared before I had read in a post, that a guy had also tiny ‘cuts’ that never developed into blisters and healed within a few days. He was also HSV1. And said he got this swabbed and showed it was HSV2. Obviously I don’t want to think my situation is similar, but is hard to avoid thinking about that. Nor I know at which area this guy developed these ‘cuts’. Mine was at the lower area of scrotum remember? I just kinda softly brushed it off for a few seconds on her thigh/buttocks area. Based on your expertise:

1. For people with HSV1 who are about to experience first OBs, how common is to see people experiencing very mild OB’s like tiny ‘cuts’ that never develop into blisters and then healed within days? Is this common on people with HSV1? Or would you still consider it uncommon, being normally expected a full blown OB? How often do you see so mild initial OB’s on people with HSV1?

Also Nurse terri, just wanted to share with you a couple of pics… To kinda let you know where exactly had contact briefly with this lady ( the white dots mark he point of contact). On the second picture you will see the sacral nerves that are involved in the groin area.

In the pic I see that the nerves are present in the inner area of thighs… However:

2. Do you think this sacral nerves are also present in any random area at the area where I placed my scrotum? ( by sending the pics I wanted to give you a better idea of what happened to me, and also will give me more understanding of if sacral nerves might have been present at contact point)

3. Would you think this is risky? Just touching her briefly with svrotum at that area?

Four months after exposure show negative results given such a low risk experience. But since that tiny wound showed up, I started getting worried again. I keep thinking it might be an OB and my HSV1 status is making mild.

Thanks for your patience Terri. Please see the pics and tell me what you think.
