Question re Shedding

[Amelie]

I have a question re shedding... my outbreaks (HSV-2) have been near the opening (outside) of the vagina. So viral shedding...does it mean the virus sheds in that area only? Or can the virus shed elsewhere? My doctor has told me that I’ll only have OB in the same spot, but I’m not clear about shedding. I’ve contacted the virus at the end of February, so I’m still in that first year. I’m trying to figure out what I can possibly do during sex (without infecting my partner). Thanks!

That's not accurate about your virus location. I have outbreaks in different areas. My first was internal and my latest have been booty area. I don't know much about shedding but I do know that you might have different outbreak locations.
