Two HSV 2 positive people (one transferred infection to the other) - diagnosed via blood test more than 8-9 months ago. I am Asymptomatic and have never had a recognized outbreak. My partner has had 2-3 outbreaks (that is how we came to get tested.)
The question: My partner's latest outbreak is a few inches from the original site - did I reinfect my partner in a new spot? Did he spread the infection to the new spot himself by touching an infected area?
