i know this sounds silly but i was not educated about herpes and suffer with ptsd when it comes to sexual infections.

i had a back massage today and the woman doing the massage also massage my glutes area.

after the massage i noticed a red bump on her lip of what could be a cold sore.

im worried she may have touched her mouth while giving me a massage and i could catch genital herpes. is this possible

    if shes a trained professional then she would know she has to keep her cold sore covered. but its highly unlikely if she did have a cold sore that she could transfer it to you, chances are nearly impossible
