skin on skin contact

[shellshell]

hi i have hsv2. my doctor said all thats needed to pass the virus on is skin on skin contact thats under your waist but no lower than your knees. she said you can pass the virus on with or without an ob so pretty much anytime, does that mean parents can pass it onto their kids by letting them sit on their lap, or pple spooning??? i read on here about a ob on someones ankles so does that mean i can give it to someone at my gym when we have to pair up and link ankles???? if i go to get a massage can i pass it into the person massaging me? also if someones upper body comes in contact with my lower body (nothing sexual) can they catch the virus? sorry if these questions sound silly.

What she said is true, but in the boxer region area. No you're not going to pass it to your kid, because they're sitting on your lap and no to everything else. When people refer to skin on skin contact and getting it that way, they're talking about heavy genital to genital grinding.
