Chances of having an HSV 2 infection genitally and orally?
I was recently diagnosed as having the HSV 2 virus from an STD blood test. I've never had an outbreak, so I'm worried that I might have it orally as well as genitally. I don't really know when contracted it, but I usually preformed oral sex on my partner before we have vaginal intercourse. How likely is it that I am infected in both sites and is there a test to tell me definitively?
Slim to none. Hsv2 is rare as an oral infection. What was the numeric value of the test? Was it an igg test or igm? These are important so if you don't know then please call your Dr and get the results

It was an IGG test and it was a value of 4.68. Could you tell me more about what this means? Thank you for your help.
Anything over a 3.5 is considered conclusive and a true positive. That is why I wanted the type of test and numeric value. Now that being said oral hsv2 is rare but has happened. I highly doubt you have it in both locations.
If you ever get a lesion go get it swabbed. If it is indeed a hsv2 lesion then you will know where you have it
