Confused beyond Belief

I have only been intimate with one person and we have been having sexual intercourse for 2 years, about three weeks ago I had extremely painful urination and a sore on my vagina.  I went to the doctor's office as was given a culture of the sore, in addition I was sent for blood work.  The culture came back negative for herpes yet the blood came back positive for type 2 herpes.  Then my partner when to get blood work which came back negative for both types of herpes.  How could  I have been exposed to type-2 herpes if my only partner's results came back negative?  I could appreciate any possible feedback.

Can you call monday and have them read your test results to you to post here? all I need to see are your numeric results - ie hsv1 igg 5.4 and hsv2 igg 2.3 or whatever they are.

Did you actually SEE your partners results? HSV1 is very common as most people aquire it as a kid, so I am surprised of someone being neg for both. I really think one of your tests are wrong (yours or his, hopefully yours, but if it's his, then you won't have to worry about giving it to him!)
