If you have sex with someone who has it, is it a definite that you will get it? How likely?

Magnetic 06-07-2003, 09:17 PM The odds are irrelevent. You either get it or you don't. The odds are higher (maybe over 50%?) if they are having an outbreak and lower if they aren't. If you are exposed to the virus, it has to find a way to enter into your skin and get in your blood. It can usually find a way in through tiny cuts in the skin you can't see. Colin D 06-07-2003, 11:32 PM This brings up a good question. Can Type 2 enter into the blood stream anywhere on the body and infect the person? That seems logical to me; however, most everything that I've read indicates that there has to be genital to genital contact. Colbe 06-08-2003, 01:36 AM Colin, In that case, everything you've read is completely WRONG. You can catch and transfer HSV2 anywhere on the body. |
