Hi ,
Thank you for your query.
It means that he has got the antibody through you. He does not have active infection,
These rashes are not related to HSV.
Stop application of oil on the skin .
Apply a aloevera-calamine lotion on the rashes for a week.
Consult your doctor if the problem persists.
If you have any further queries you are free to consult me.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
