A member asked:

Is it possible to asymptomatic virally shed herpes from the oral region to genital region?believe i've had ohsv1 forever, scared of autoinnoculation.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Herpes can be shed without an outbreak. Most ppl shed for about 72 hours before they break out in ulcers. So, in theory , you could shed virus to your partner. Especially if they get infected, they could spread the virus to your genitals .
