Can HSV Be Contracted Through Non-penetrative Sexual Activity?

Posted on Sat, 6 Aug 2016

Question: with all the embrassement in the world:
12 days ago, I went to massage parlor with some friends, after some massge, the girl spat on my penis and gave me a hand job.
So far I did not have any sores and blisters, I just have some tingleing and wierd pains on my sexual organs.
what are the risks of me contracting hsv, specially hsv 2 ?
Thanks

in particular, can this be a asymptomatic case of herpes ?

Brief Answer:
It's not HIV or herpes

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
If it was herpes you would have developed rashes by now.
Only with massage risk of hiv is very less.
In my opinion you have just developed anxiety.
Just relax take methylcobalamine tablet daily for a week.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Thanks Dr XXXXXXX
But could it not be asymptomatic herpes ?
I am waiting for my blood test. If I do another blood test in a month, that would be a more definite answer right ?

Also I have had these itchy tingeling pains for few days now.
One reason could be as my pubic hair is growing, i am getting this.

If infact she had shedding hsv 2, what would have been the risk of transmission through a saliva genital contact you think ?

I meant my pubic hair is quite short now and can irritate the skin.

Brief Answer:
You are safe

Detailed Answer:
Hello
A repeat test after a month can be done to give you mental peace however transmission of herpes occurs only through breached mucosa or if she had fresh lesions.
Tingling can be due to pubic hair.
Take methylcobalamine for a week and see response.
Relax yourself.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank.

Im really sorry, one last question. I promise to relax Dr. XXXXXXX

It came to my attenstion that I did not have any erection in the last two weeks because of the anxitey (perhaps). Could that be a cause of pain ?

As I used to have sexual relations with my girlfriend about tree times a week..

I just learned that i lost 8 pounds in the past two weeks..

Brief Answer:
Try to relax

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Yes definitely it's due to anxiety.

You cannot get erection if you always have fear or you are anxious.
Anxiety leads to increased metabolic rate and improper food intake.
Just relax.

If possible repeat HIV and herpes test, just to give you mental peace.
Just think that you are totally fine, you will recover in a week.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.

Thank you.
