Reply To: Genital HSV-2 susceptible areas for men

[curious1990]

Thanks Terri, I appreciate the response. When you say primarily– I’m interested specifically in whether it’s possible and how roughly how likely it is for men to acquire HSV on say the thighs or pubic area (areas that could come into contact with genital secretions as well) if there is minor skin barrier compromisation. This may inform the question of whether there is any merit to discussions I’ve seen in other threads on this forum about wearing e.g. tight fitting boxer shorts during sex, or whether this is a completely negligible risk.
