Foreplay and Intimacy

What is the likelihood that you transmit your genital HSV-2 to someone else if they touch that area with their hands or by rubbing up against you? I was recently diagnosed, and I'm collecting as much information as possible before my first disclosure.

Welcome @Donkrin!

If you're having an active herpes outbreak, it's likely to be transmitted, especially to areas with more mucous membrane (which is why oral and genital herpes are most prevalent). If you're not having an outbreak, pretty unlikely to transmit if they touch with their hand or some other part of their body with thicker skin since asymptomatic viral shedding doesn't shed much virus. But get your dose of data and facts by downloading the e-book and handouts here first: https://www.herpesopportunity.com/lp/ebook

Then you can watch this video on herpes facts for a general overview:

Come back and ask more specific questions as you continue your search and we'll do our best to answer them!
