hi this is from john hopkins can herpes be transmitted to other parts of my body? if you have genital herpes or orofacial herpes you cannot transmit the infection to another part of your body after the initial infection occurs. if you have genital hsv ii you will not get hsv ii at another site in your body. the body produces antibodies that protect other parts of your body from infection. however there are cases where an individual has multiple site infections from the same virus. this is usually acquired at the time of the initial infection. for example if an individual has oral and genital sex with an infected partner they can acquire the infection at both sites because they are susceptible at that time. as for your carpal tunnel i have had both hands done and yes it will be sore for some time for now just make sure your not doing to much apart from clenching and flexing but don’t do what i did and fall on it because that hurts the site for some time. but just stay clam over your other problem. do hope this helps you. good luck
a month ago i had carpal tunnel surgery. just diagnosed with herpes virus type 1. my wrist has been incredibly sore and. tender and clearly has more healing to do. could this virus affect this surgical site and the healing? thank you.
