MedHelp Member's Question

Just Diagnosed with HSV2

by ShellyB123, Mar 12, 2009 10:15PM

Tags: hsv2, diagnosed

I was just diagnosed with HSV2. I have never had symptoms and was tested a year ago and came up negative. I have only had one partner in that window of time and he was tested positive for HSV1 and negative for HSV2. How could this be? I do not recall him performing oral sex on me with a cold sore ever, as I have read that this is one way that HSV1 can be transmitted to a partner, giving them HSV2. Please shed some light on this for me.
