Reply To: Risk of reinfection and risk to others

[Pandt]

Sorry, a couple more questions.

If I touch my penis, no symptoms or outbreak and then put my finger in her vagina, what is the risk, if there was shedding going on, is there a risk I can infect my partner who has HSV1 and what about someone who doesn’t have HSV1..

I have read that some soaps and silicon lubes can act as a barrier when shedding is occuring, have you read any science on various things a man might apply to even further reduce risk of transmission?

My partner has a new partner. He also has HSV1. Is there a risk of her giving him GHSV1 from a blowjob?

If he didn’t have HSV1. What are the % or likelihood of giving someone GHSV1 when not experiencing symptoms.

Thanks in advance.
