A member asked:
I noticed a scab on my partners penis, could it be herpes? weve had unprotected intercourse twice. if its herpes could i have contracted it?

Yes and Yes, if...: If one's partner actually has herpes, the penis might have contagious Herpes simplex sores. If he doesn't have herpes, then the scab is likely due to something else. To solve this mystery, she has to talk with her partner and they together can review their past exposures and known or possible infections. Blood tests can determine whether or not a person already carries Herpes simplex types 1 or 2.
