A member asked:
Can i get hsv2 from someone touching their infected penis and/or semen with our without visible sores, then touching my outer vagina and vagina areas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk: HSV (either HSV1 or 2) requires more intimate exposure than this. Usually the virus must be massaged into exposed tissues. That's why initial herpes usually involves sites that get the most friction during sex -- vaginal opening and labia minora in women, penis head and shaft in men -- not scrotum, labia majora, etc. Hand-genital contact is no risk; not enough virus is carried over. Best wishes!
