How quickly can herpes be contracted?
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi there,
I'm a man who has Herpes type hsv-2.
At the weekend I was with a woman and we ended up in bed together. I didn't have a condom so we weren't having sex. However things got pretty heated and in a moment of pure, drunken stupidiy we started to have intercourse. It was only for 4 / 5 seconds until I realised how stupid I was without a condom as I could infect her.
I don't currently have any outbreaks but how likely is it that she could be infected? I hate myself for it, I'm so ashamed for doing what I did. I just hope I haven't given it to her.
Any thoughts on the chances of her getting it would be great.
Thanks,
An idiot

If you take the medication her chances will be reduced to like ..5% and you need to thrust in her 20-30 times to cause skin friction to really pass it down. It seems like that did not happen. So it seems like she will be fine. Even if u are not on the pill, the friction thing is important. My ex bf had GH so I asked my Gyno a million questions. That is what he told me and he made the disease sound like not a big deal. Also did you know In some countries Gh isn't a stud? Also one last thing! You seem to have good character for doing what you did. You should be proud you are a good person.

Thought it was initially an atypical UTI, but it was actually herpetic urethritis, followed by a "pimple" and minor lesions over the ensuing days. From just that one time. My doc says I was really unlucky. Sigh.
Anyway, it really is possible for a single encounter to pass HSV-2, with symptoms showing up in just 1-2 days, yet others can be sexually active with a carrier for years and never get it.
