Did I infect him?

Hi, so this was the string of events: I had been dating this guy for almost 2 years. I had had genital HSV 1 for about 3 years when i began dating this person (now have had it for about 5 1/2 years). we stopped dating beginning of this year, and were apart for almost 8 months, during which he'd slept with numerous partners (at least 7 he told me about)- many were random drunken affairs, but he said he used a condom with everyone.. Then we started dating again, i had what i thought was a possible outbreak. The peculiar thing about it was that it was in a different area than where i had my initial outbreak (this by the way was my first recurrance since my initial one 5 1/2 years ago). I went to the doctor, they took a culture, and it was negative. I understand this could have been a false negative, and it may have been a herpes lesion (doc said it was possibly herpes but didnt classically look like it). We had intercourse while this possible lesion was almost healed, and about a week later he had a sore. He tested positive on a herpes culture, but they didnt tell him if it was type 1 or 2, and that he should come back if he has another outbreak so they can test the type. And i asked him if they told him the result of the herpes blood test, and he said he thinks it was positive, but doesnt really remember. I tried to ask him again (because i figured if i had newly infected him, the blood test would probably be negative since he took it so soon after the exposure, and that this would be a good indication of whether or not i gave it to him), but he seems to not want to talk about this at all, as he is still dealing with the new diagnosis.. Also i forgot to mention, he told me that during our break, he had an STD scare- that there was something, possibly a sore on his penis, but that it was only there for 2 or 3 days, and he dismissed it as irritation from masturbation.
I am aware that there is obviously a chance he got this from me, but i guess i just want to know if it is likely that i gave it to him, or if there is just as good of a chance that he had this already.

At this point really no way to know. He needs to be following up on things on his end and it appears he isn't doing so.  If you can get him to get his actual herpes igg blood test results for you to post, I can better help you with that part too - e.g. hsv1 igg 4.9 and hsv2 igg 2.2 or whatever they are.

Cover your bases and you should pursue a type specific herpes igg blood test now and repeat it in a few months to make sure you haven't contracted hsv2 from him. Also since he's had numerous other partners as well as a std scare himself, he should be covering his bases with a full std screening.  You might want to consider at least also testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea yourself too since both can affect your future fertility.


if he tests + for hsv2 and you don't, you know he didn't get this from you.
