Genital herpes but only around the Vag

Posted , 4 users are following.

I am currently healing from my first out break it's been a week since I've been on the medication. And I am feeling alot better but when I hold a mirror down in that area I can tell that I am not fully healed yet.

Therefore I assume I will not be healed by Saturday. On Saturday I am suppose to see my sugar daddy. But I was wondering if it is possible to pass herpes #1 through anal.

If herepes 1 is suppose to occur around the mouth is it possible for him to get it in his gwbtials anyway?

Also the nurse from the clinic called me about 5 minutes ago. I told her that i no longer have sores but where the sores were are now just pink openings which I assume is normal...for herpes...? Or so I hope it is.. She said I could just be healing. But she was hesitating when she said it.

Any similar occurences?

And also with the anal sex? Can't really do it without a condom.

    Id wait and see how well they heal.

    Im fairly new to having herpes, but based on information ive found. If you still have sores come saturday i dont think its a good idea to engage in sex even if it is anal. Youd still be shedding the virus i believe. But others on this site may have better responses to your question.

    I too would wait. If this is your first outbreak, its my understanding that for about the first year, while your body is producing more anitbodies to the virus, it is easier to spread the virus to other parts of your body. This would include anal.  

    If you're not healed I believe there is more virus shedding in the genital area and on the skin, though shedding can happen at any time.  Even though herpes 1 prefers the mouth and herpes 2 perfers the genitals, either can be in the other or both locations.  It is my understanding that generally if the herpes type is in its area of preference it reoccurs more often there; hence herpes 1 with mouth cold sores, and herpes 2 with genital outbreaks.  

     Good luck to you.

    When you are shedding, it can occur anywhere in the genital region, including the anus, even without lesions there (or anywhere else, as is the case with asymptomatic shedding). While genital Type 1 tends to outbreak and shed much less, and is less contagious as a result, a first outbreak is a no-go for sex with a negative partner, plus you are not yet fully healed, besides which infectiousness remains potentially high during the first few months of infection.

      Oh okay so when I clear up having unprotected sex with someone means that they can't recieve herpes bcuz it's type 1. Or it's unlikely to get it after I'm healed

      Hard to say. Infectiousness remains highest the first few months, but Type 1 is typically less infectious. I would take precautions still initially, at least until you have built up sufficient antibodies (4-6 months) to control the infection and can observe whether you get many recurrences. Most with Type 1 rarely outbreak again, maybe once a year if that, but some people have more recurrences, even with Type 1.

      Woah um I can't wait 4-6 months. It doesn't make a difference if a condom is used either huh? Bcuz of the skin to skin contact. Wow that's crazy

      Condoms do make a difference (up to 50% reduction in transmission risk). Once you are fully healed, no sores, no tingling, no odd sensations, use a condom properly and with Type 1 it should be generally okay.
