Dr hansfield/doctor hook. I have had hsv2 genital herpes for 29 years. I typically have one outbreak a year and some years no outbreaks. I recently ran into an old friend and we had drinks. I did not have any symptoms lesions Etc there was no tingling or anything like that prior. We ended up having sexual contact. It lasted perhaps a total of 20 minutes. It mostly consisted of me rubbing and fingering her vagina. However, there was sporadically insertion of my penis into her vagina a number of times and I would withdraw. That lasted perhaps a total of a minute. What are the risks of her being infected with hsv-2? Do the incidents of viral shedding decrease over the years? Thank you for your

Terri, thank you for your quick response. I appreciate that. Is there any way to know how often someone who's had hsv2 for 29 years sheds? Also, as I said we were drinking, the total of a minute between all the insertions and withdrawals could possibly have been 2 minutes? Does that change your opinion at all? I have read in some of Dr hansfield's and Dr hooks responses to other people that it is not all that easy to contract hsv2 from a single episode. Even if lesions are present. There were no lesions present here, does that same information hold true if I were happening to be shedding?

Terry, thank you for your response and information. I think that based upon what you have to say and reading the various posts from the doctors I can perhaps stop worrying about this. Thank you again

You are most welcome---
