Holding my breath

10 Days ago I had sex with a new partner alcohol was involved. Condoms were used for the majority of the time, but not always. Two days ago, this partner regretfully informs me she has genital herpes. She says she's known for 12 years, been medicated throughout that stretch, and had no feeling of breakout or a feeling of breakout in the time after our encounter. She also said a sexual relationship of 5 years prior produced a negative result for that partner.  
I called a health center in town and they said unless I show visible signs of a breakout there is nothing i can do for 16 weeks when a blood test will work. What do I do in the meantime? Is there any peace of mind in statistics or your experience you can offer? Any non-sore symptoms I should pay attention for?
Thanks for a great forum that has already answered some of my general questions.

yah, that was pretty evil of her to do that. my suggestion is to relax. if your wired on anxiety and stress combined with a lack of water, food, and sleep, your likely to make matters worse in noticing things that aren't there or always been there. if you have no symptoms try and relax. if you have symptoms, go to your doctors and get checked out. i went as far as the hospital to get checked out and i was given clearance. it will bring peace of mind. i understand your frustration. i been checked for everything but herpes and hpv which are two non curable which is not pleasant. my situation was jock itch and prostititus. if your not having blisters that puss and or causing you flu like symptoms, try and relax. i worried myself sick and it didn't do me any good. best of luck.

It wasn't evil.  It was human.  People make mistakes, and at least she told you so you can pay attention for symptoms.

If she is on meds, the chances of you getting herpes is so low its not worth worrying about, ok?

If you haven't ever been tested for herpes, it might be a good idea to do so now, as you might already have it and not know it.

The fact that your partner has been on antivirals is a good thing - this reduces your chance of being infected.  Even though she had genital herpes, chances are you were not infected.  But if you notice any sores or a rash, get it checked out ASAP (the sooner the better - once the sores start to heal the chances of false negatives from the viral culture are greater).  To ease your mind, get a blood test in four months.  However, if you are positve for HSV-2, there is no guarantee that it was from this encounter.
Good luck,
