I am wondering about transmission of genital herpes, that appear in the pelvic area above the vagina. I was intimate with an uninfected parter, without intercourse, but with skin contact, and hand to genital contact. I take acyclovir sporadically, and did not have any lesions present. I was however sunburned in the area, which could have masked initial symptoms. A lesion appeared about 36 hours later. My partner is informed, but I am wondering if this potential shedding from non- vaginal lesions could infect my partners bodily skin, such as stomach, thigh, etc? Does this ever occur?
