Herpes

[FDRI1]

I have been with the same woman for 10 years. she is wanting a divorce which has been very stressful on me. I have lost 25lbs and not sleeping or eating well. 3 weeks ago I went to doctor and was diagnosed with Hsv2. we haven't had sex in several months and says she has not been with anyone else. when I told her about my HSV2. she went to the doctor for blood test. she said she got the results back within and hour and was negative. My doctor told me I could have had this for years. we have had 3 children. in the last eight years. my doctor thought that sounded impossible if we have had sex for the last ten years and I we were monogamous. could she be lying or got bad test results.Could the test results come back that quick. it took over a week to get mine back. Confused

Due to hipaa laws, you can not have any access to your wife's lab results. Your insurance company can't even tell you what test was done.  She'll need to call and have a copy of them printed from her doctor to show you.

I can best help you with your end of things if you call and get the numeric results of your own testing to make sure that you were properly tested and don't need additional testing done.

I got a statement from my healthcare provider it showed the Lab Company the OBGYN used for her test. I called the lab and they said they send all blood work down to a lab in downtown and the results take about a week. The doctor only billed 27 dollars and for the test someone said the quick test were very expensive. I am still having a tuff time believing my wife and the results. any Ideas.

How were you tested for herpes? if it was a blood test, can you call, get the results and post them here? all I need is the numeric results ie hsv1 igg 2.3 and hsv2 igg .36 or whatever they are.

Yes you could've been together for 10 years and she never contracted hsv2 from you.

my result were confirmed with a phone call from the doctor. Could I have really had this for this many years and just got my first symptom? If I have had it it for that long whats the chances of my wife contracting it over that period or could she have just got it in the last few months before we had sex and given it to me? No luck on getting her results....

If the clinic uses one of the 2 rapid tests on the market she could have hsv2 results that quickly. Since there is obviously a trust issue here, perhaps ask her to get  print out of her results to share with you.

what were your own hsv2 results?
