[Question #6745] Herpes worry
65 months ago
|
I have OCD. And had a past obsession around herpes. Had 2 negative Western blots. I try to avoid uneeded testing as a part of my OCD treatment. Wanted to know if this is an exposure that warrants any concern. Was getting a lap dance. Guy was nude. He briefly took my penis out of my underwear and gave me a handjob but my penis may have briefly rubbed up against his thigh or his lower butt cheek. I don’t think it did and if it did it was for a max of 30 seconds. No penetration and nowhere near his anus. Would there be any risk of transmission?

This is not a risk for transmission. I'm so glad that you wrote to me with your question rather than testing again. Keep up the excellent work on your OCD!
