Negative Test....

[Kristy2013]

Hi, I had been diagnosed with hsv a couple of years ago and received medication for it. I have been taking it on and off since then. I met this guy a while back, which is now my boyfriend, and of course I told him about it after a while and he was fine with my situation. We recently had unprotected sex and we went to his family doctor for his annually regular check up and his test came back negative for hsv and he got tested again and it was negative. I saw the test with my own two eyes and I'm trying to figure out what would cause the test to be negative. My guess Is that he's a man and his immune system is stronger than mines.....??? But I could be wrong....Any other suggestions that are facts?

avoiding sex during obvious symptoms in the genital area and you being on daily suppressive therapy means he's on average, 98% likely each year NOT to contract hsv2 from you.

definitely you and your partner both should read the handbook :)

Hi grace, Its hsv2 and I'm not surprised. We both agreed to have unprotected sex and we're both adults so we both knew what the outcome would possibly be. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that my boyfriend doesn't have it but we're both just curious about it because we prepared our minds on one outcome and got another (which is great) but there is some curiosity about how that's possible. And no I haven't read it yet.

how were you diagnosed as having genital herpes?  do you have hsv1 or hsv2 genitally?

why are you surprised that your partner hasn't contracted your herpes????

have you ever read the free herpes handbook that we recommend in our read before posting post on the forum?
