Well, holy crap, I got the tests back and it they told me that my blood showed that I had been exposed to the herpes virus.
Im literally freaking out right now.
They told me it was an older strain, meaning that I had already had an outbreak and whatever, but now Im worried as hell. They couldn’t tell me if it was oral or genital because I have not had any signs of an outbreak or anything. I do not remember (and I think I would recall) any bumps or sores in my private area EVER. So, Im pretty sure its not genital herpes.
I do remember having a sore every now and then in my mouth that would be very painful, but never in clusters or anything like that! The only times I can remember were single sores that occurred INSIDE my mouth (side of cheeks) and I never remember having a cold sore.
They told me I could get genital herpes in my mouth and I have read multiple websites and I am literally beside myself. I don’t sleep around, I do not consider myself at high risk for STI’s, but if this thing could be HSV2 in my mouth I really need to know…
I know I have been exposed to the virus, and have no signs at all for genital herpes, BUT could it be HSV2 in my mouth or do my symptoms sound like HSV1 ?
My symptoms:
ONE sore, usually goes away within a few weeks
it becomes painful, hard to eat sometimes but only for a few days
on the side of my mouth, never on my lips (no cold sores)
Please tell me its just HSV1!!! Im so nervous, I cant sleep.
I have so many unanswered questions concerning this:
1. How have I had this for 6 years of unprotected sex with my husband and he doesn’t have it??
2. From what I’ve read, hsv2 is usually genital, but can also be oral. Also, an outbreak will reoccur in the same place everytime. So since I’ve never had any type of outbreak other than the meningitis, does this mean that I will never have any type of genital outbreak, for instance?
*Any other info from someone with experience on this subject is greatly appreciated! This was just all so much to take in. Especially since I have been in a long time monogomaus relationship and we were both tested before being sexual with each other (which, I just recently found out that they don’t test for herpes unless you specifically ask for it!)
Well, thanks in advance!
Wow, sorry this is so long!
She got a blood test and they said hsv-2…does that mean its oral or genital? because there such a thing as hsv2 oral correct?..but im pretty sure its genital hsv2 because he said if you’re having a baby make sure you tell your doctor
If I finger her is it possible i can get herpes on my hands? herpes whitlow
Can we deep kiss without contracting it? because some websites say you can for hsv-2
Can she give me a bj without me getting it?…if so then im confused because it says the virus is in the mucus membranes right? so wouldn’t kissing contract it same way if she was to give me oral
Whoever answers these questions I really wanna say thank you. you dont understand how much this means to me. Thanks for taking your time with ur responses and everything. Grate thanks!
