A member asked:

Anal sex, now much mucous from rectum. recently diagnoised with herpes 2, does anal cavity need special treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be: It would be prudent to see a doctor to ensure that there are no wounds in the anal canal or rectum. If you acquired Herpes 2, you should get tested for other sexually transmitted diseases also.
