Sex during shedding/prodrome....

HSV2+ Female to HSV2- Male....

Is transmission to the negative partner pretty much guaranteed if the positive partner is shedding or in the prodrome stage?  From everything I’ve read across different forums, it seems as though even during these stages, a man is still not highly likely to be infected due to their genitalia… Is this true? 

Slight burning sensation in the bikini area (thought it was just because I had shaved  the night before and am sensitive and hair was trying to regrow) of the upper thigh during a couple of days when vaginal sex occurred twice… No condom use, positive female partner on daily suppression.  Couple of days after sex, burning sensation still there, but not worse ( same feeling does also seem to be on the back of the leg near the buttocks), add a slight burning in the anus/butt crack area. One instance of a major tingling in mons pubis area that lasted five seconds or less. Bare shaved again night previous to this.  Absolutely no visible signs of an outbreak. 

 Am I overthinking it that the chances of transmission were really high at this time? I was well lubricated, and there was no grinding, as I’ve read doesn’t help the situation because of the friction.  Partners penis was visibly clear of any cuts  or breaks in the skin.  Sex only occurred when the feeling at the top of the thighs has been happening, not when additional sensations occurred.  And even the feeling in the thighs was not happening immediately before sex, during sex, or immediately after. Seemed to come back several hours later…

It's so hard to say whether you were shedding or not.  Unfortunately we can shed whether we have any symptoms or not.  Why don't you find a doc to put you on antiviral meds? That'll reduce the chance you'll transmit H.
