HSV-2 shedding question

[JustLivin]

Hey,

I've posted on here once so far after finding out I had genital herpes and it was really helpful.

I had another question about asymptomatic shedding. Even though I did not have a serious outbreak (no pain/itching), I did get a slight burning sensation on my genitals as if I had a paper cut. I've been taking Valtrex and my skin is now cleared up for the most part (even though there is still some discoloration). Should I expect this spot on my genitals where I suspect the virus entered to be where asymptomatic shedding will occur? or will it occur somewhere else on my skin? like my pubic region, my thighs etc. I guess I'm getting a little paranoid that the virus can be seeping out of my skin on any part of my body at any time. 

My girlfriend does not have the virus, and I do not want to spread it to her (which is why I'm on suppressive therapy now). However, I've read that the virus typically spreads through asymptomatic shedding, when I do not even have any sores present. I got intimate with my girlfriend a few days ago for the first time since my diagnosis and I kept my pants on the entire time I wore a condom because I was so afraid of "shedding" from some random place on my body. Am I just being overly paranoid? Is this how "shedding" works? 

 

Thanks in advance!

I think shedding happens from the site of where your OBs occur. But prodome symptoms can occur anywhere where the nervous system is involved.
