Second outbreak of HSV 2 - when can I have sex again?

[Malcolm1981]

Hey everyone, so I got herpes at the ripe old age of 35.  My last outbreak started a couple weeks ago.  I got tested and it was positive.  Took a course of antiviral meds and the sores are dried up and gone.  Theres a tiny bit of redness still present and I have a tingling sensation consistent with prodromal symptoms but this is post OB.  I researched and it could possible be herpetic neuralgia.  Has anyone ever experienced this?  I have no other symptoms other than this tingling once in a while and am unsure of when I can return to being sexually active.  My sores were beside the shaft of my penis on the testicle sac.  Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

If you caught it recently, then you will be at your most contagious, irrespective of whether you have visible outbreaks or not.. The virus will be shedding quite a bit if you only got it recently

Tingling can be shedding. If you disclose take meds and use condoms then you reduce risk but best to ensure your partner is aware you may be shedding.
