Back in June of this year I tested positive for HSV-1 (2.519 / IGG) and HSV-2 (2.59 /IGG). Back in November of 2020 I remember getting this breakout in my pubic area. It was a bunch of bumps that took over 2 months to completely go away. No other symptoms during the outbreak. I went to my urologist for a random check up and he told me that it looked like mulluscom contagiosum. I'm not sure if maybe this was the initial HSV-2 outbreak. As of late, I feel as if I get warm tingling sensations in my pubic area. Nothing ever on penis or testicles. I've only noticed it since I found out about being HSV-2 positive. What concerns me is an encounter that I had with a sex worker this past weekend. I'm fearful that I may have transmitted the virus to her. I had shaved a little over a week earlier and had some red bumps develop were I had shaved. They went up as high as my belly button. Her and I had PROTECTED sex, but her pubic area (not genitals) and buttocks (not anus) made contact with the bumps in the limited positions we were in and while cuddling. Nothing was aggressive and the friction was minimal. She had no open cuts or sores. Is our interaction enough for me to have passed on HSV-2 to her? Can HSV-2 penetrate her intact skin in her pubic region and buttocks?  Or does it have to be with her mucous membranes. Dr. Hook answered the question for me on post #8150 and he says that contact with her intact skin could be enough to transmit the infection. I'm worried for her. Help.
