Hi,
I was diagnosed with HSV-1 in my anal area. Can I spread HSV-1 to my partner from regular and/or oral sex. Does the person need to come in contact with a sore/lession from the anal area or can they get from touching any part of my genital area?
I am concerned and have not had sex...

63 years old. Other than sexual contact, how is the virus transmitted?

I am a 63 year old woman whose blood test came back...
i read you don't have to have an outbreak to pass the virus to your partner. I thinks that's what concerns me the most. Theres a shedding phase it goes through and when it does theres no symptoms and thats how it could be easily passed to your partner! You just keep reading other peoples questions and answers very very helpful. good lHi Concerned i was in your situation a week ago so im pretty new to this to but from what uck!
