A member asked:

I had my first outbreak of genital herpes but it did not occur where i contacted the virus. why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You don't know: First, this may have been the first sympomatic outbreak of a previously dormant infection. Second it is very difficult sometimes to pinpoint where the viral contact occurred. May be from oral sex or genital to genital contact. If with a male, from leaking semen around a condom. Hope it clears up soon.
