Coldsores as a kid, but test + for HSV2

My husband had a breakout for the first time (I've never had anything more than a couple of very small itchy pimples that went away within days) so neither of us knew we were infected (or if one infected the other). We both got tested by LabCorp, which I believe use HerpesSelect:

Mine:
HSV1 = 91 (Neg)
HSV2 = 3.09 (Pos)

his:
HSV1 = 91
HSV2 = 6.38

I thought I would have tested pos. for HSV1 as I had cold sores regularly as a kid (but none in 25 yrs, I'm now 40). However, I was molested at age 5 & forced to perform oral on my 14yo female babysitter. So from the test results, I could have had HSV2 cold sores? Should I re-test?

odds are that your cold sores aren't hsv2.  They could be but the chances of a 14 yr old babysitter having hsv2 are very, very low for you to have picked up hsv2 orally.

I assume you and your hubby have had other partners prior to each other?  Looks like one of you had hsv2 and possibly gave it to the other ( or even both could've came into the relationshp and never knew you both had hsv2 ). No way to figure out when and who gave what to whom though at this point.  since you both have hsv2, it' s not an issue in your relationship other than if one of you has an ob and it's uncomfortable to have sex, avoid it until the ob has healed.

Actually the babysitter had been molested regularly by an adult, so it's not unlikely for her to have contracted something. If she didn't give it to me and I don't have HSV1, I can't see how else I had cold sores as a kid.

We'd only been married 3 mons when he had an OB and we did not have sex w/ each other prior to marriage. However, we'd each have been previously married w/ a couple other long term/intimate relationships (both of mine turned out to be cheaters).

I had been drug-raped yrs ago and tested for HIV & Syp but not herpes and I was feeling guilty that I may have gave my hubby the herpes. But from what I'm reading ppl w/ new infections do not have such high antibodies as he does @ 6+. Am I right?

I'm not looking for blame, but feeling guilty sucks!
