Yep, intermittent tingling for almost 2 months. I’ve never experienced a reaction to latex before, so I doubt it’s that. I was really trying to chalk it up to being paranoid and hypersensitive, but I’m starting to wonder if blowing it off is the right approach. But from what I’ve read, if this WAS herpes, it would most certainly have resulted in blisters by now. Is that true? How confident should I feel?

We’ve talked about the antiviral therapy and he felt that because he hasn’t had an outbreak for so long, it isn’t necessary. Maybe we should revisit that.

Are there any stats about the rates of shedding for someone in his situation, or the risk of infection for me, considering the length of time he’s been infected and hasn’t had outbreaks?
