Hello, I am hoping you can help me with a few questions. Last year I was finally diagnosed with GHSV 1 by swab. I am married and a mom of 2. I know I shouldn’t. assume but I believe that my husband may have it, we are going for blood work soon. He had a finger that became inflamed and red and painful a few days after sexual contact on the side area of his finger nail. He did not get it tested as I asked, well he wears contacts. He uses that finger to insert them. Since then he will get there red ulcer in his eye that he says does not hurt but looks awful. I feel as  he may have transferred it to his eye by contacts or rubbing sometime ago when he had that first outbreak on his hand. Well he just had another flare up and now I am worried that if I am correct he was rubbing his eye and then touching a drink and sharing it with out kids. I would think reoccurring herpes on the eye would be painful but he said it just feel irritated. Now he does work in landscaping but it is the same eye and in the same area, it is day 4 and it is almost gone.. Is there a chance he could transit it after rubbing the corner of his eye with having the eye ball liquid lol, touching a cup then one of kids taking the cup from him. I know it seems far fetched and as I type seem rare but I do worry about giving this to my kids. Now he has not had a flare of up his finger since then, but had an area on his wrist where it looked like posion ivy but I wonder now if it was an outbreak? He just doesn’t think he has it and I have a hard time getting him to listen to me. He thinks if he has it oh well, but I am worried he could spread it to others by touch since his hand or by touching his eye during a flare and then an object someone may come into contact with. He finally agreeded that when his eye does it again he will go be seen. Thank you for your time.
