HSV1 or 2 confusion

[Coolguy15234]

About 2.5 years ago I recieved oral from another guy who had a coldsore in his mouth and I had no idea until he told me. About I'd say 2-3-4 weeks later I got these sores around my waistline area that were reddish scaly but did not tingle or hurt in any way. Went to the doctor who tested me for STD's but if I recall correctly he did not test for HSV1 or 2. So about 6 months later I went back and got another blood test and it came back negative for HSV1 or 2. I have never had another outbreak in sores since so I'm extremely confused as to whether or not I have HSV1 or 2 and whether I should get tested again, but if I do, will anything even show up?

Thanks

Like I said it doesn't matter as most people you receive oral sex from will have HSV1. The issue is whether transmission occurred or not. There is no evidence that it did.

Thanks for the info, the sores did not look like herpes although the doctor said it looked like it but then didn't even test for it. I don't think he cared, but the second test was for the antibodies yes

I do not think there is any confusion here.

I wouldn't be so sure it was a cold sore inside of his mouth. That is more likely something else. The lips are a more common place. Nevertheless most oral sex you receive will be from people with HSV1 so there is always a risk.

If infected, you will get lesions where the virus enters the body and surrounds. Hence a few individual sores on the waist line are not herpes in this case.

Your testing also confirms negative, so long as it was for IgG antibodies.

As Yoda says "further testing require you not".
