Transmission experiences and genital herpes

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi guys, reading a lot of information on how contagious genital herpes is. Is there anyone that has had regular unprotected sex that hasn't passed it on to their partner?

      Two months have passed since I posted that, but all the bullets remain true.

      He did get a rough patch on the head of his penis recently, but it doesn't present at all as herpes. (No pain, no tingly, no itchy, no blood, no popping, no open sores, no oozing yellow liquid, not all that raised, etc.) Most signs point to it being caused by his frequently not wearing underwear with jeans.

      Thank you so much for this! It's really useful, my result came back negative so I'm a bit confused about my symptoms as I thought it was definitely a sore.
