Would you mind answering my question about the finger situation in the first paragraph? I’m sorry if my question wasn’t clear.
Also, tonight my husband and I had sex, no oral. His cold sore is healing/scabbed over and just a tiny red dot now. He kissed me around my waist.
I know the skin is to thick for virus to penetrate there, but what I’m worried about is that I took a shower after and washed the area he kissed with body wash on a washcloth. I then used the same washcloth to clean my genitals, if there was any lingering virus on my skin from where he kissed me, could I have infected my genitals by using the same washcloth I washed that area with?
