Ok so im wondering if u can spread the virus if 1. U feel u are in between shedding and a outbreak. When i shed it feels tingly. Then i will have a day or so with absolutely no symptoms then Bam... a outbreak and 2. If u have a outbreak on your outer labia does that mean ur inner labia is contagious as well? Is viral shedding onlt active at the specific place where the outbreak is? Or is everything contagious?
Viral shedding can be completely asymptomatic (not even any tingling), so you cannot tell when it is happening.
Also, once you have herpes genitally, your entire genitalia can shed (so cervix, vagina, anus), not just where you have outbreaks.
Normal skin in the boxer short area does not effectively shed unless lesions are present, so your buttocks and thighs are fine provided there is no active outbreak.
Hope that answers your questions!
if u have a outbreak the day after sex, could that mean u were shedding during sex?
Is it possible to not pass the virus while actively shedding? Is there a small percentage?
Can sex trigger a outbreak?
Sorry for bombarding u with questions...
No problem!
Sex can trigger an outbreak in some people, and not every sexual encounter will result in transmission, although the odds are higher during an active outbreak.
