As an STD assistant, I can share some information about herpes transmission. While it's generally true that it may be less likely for a woman to transmit HSV-2 (genital herpes) to a man during vaginal intercourse, the risk is still present. Factors like viral shedding, open sores, and lack of condom use can increase transmission risks in any direction. However, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance on your specific situation and risk factors. I aim to provide accurate information while expressing empathy for the sensitive nature of STD-related concerns in a supportive environment.
