A member asked:
If a woman had anal herpes only and had had sex vaginally only. could you still get hsv from her vagina? sorry if it is a silly question many thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a silly question at all! The answer is yes: definitely there is risk of HSV exposure by vaginal sex even if only anal herpes is present. Both because anal secretions may be present around the vagina; and because people with rectal HSV may often have vaginal or cervical areas involved without symptoms.
