Just contracted and figuring out timeline of exposure

[Bilis]

Hi, I just found out yesterday I had contracted herpes. Culture was taken and haven't received results yet. But dr speculates it's that. I don't doubt it either as I looked up the symptoms and I fit. Currently have full outbreak now and lesions. Not exactly proud of myself but on Jan 28 I had sex with guy A i have been seeing since beginning of Jan. Right after that I started with guy B whom I slept with on Feb 4 th and have been with him ever since regularly. Looks like my outbreak started on feb 14. From what i read in this forum, it takes 3 to 10 days after exposure. Trying to figure out between guy a and guy b, who is the likely candidate to pass it to me.

In addition, since I have started with guy a early in Jan, shouldn't I have started outbreak around end of Jan? Please advise.

bv especially can make herpes reoccur. at this point find out what you have and what your current partner has and go from there.

keep asking questions!

It was a culture test. Yes they did yeast and bacterial infections in which I tested positively for.

all that really matters is knowing your own status and your current partners status. you need to talk to him about this and let him know what is going on. he'll need to also seek out a type specific herpes igg blood test to see what his own status is so you can make educated decisions about what precautions to take from this point forward.

what testing was done for you?  what medication did they give you - dose and for how many days?  did they also test you for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally too?

I just told guy a this morning. Requesting him to be tested. He agreed. Haven't told guy b yet. Guy a mentioned that he was with one person like a one night stand between me his ex- girlfriend of 2 years. Before his ex girlfriend, he was married for 13 years. So according to him, he should not have it. And the one night stand was a woman going through a divorce and not been with anyone else.

I know it seems like I'm just here guessing, but I'm soooooo distress and need people to talk to about this. I'm an emotional mess now. I need to keep talking through this for my sanity. It took a lot out of me to call guy a. Trying to cope with this and understand more. If it's not either guy a or guy b, then could it be my ex boyfriend from last year march? Could it have been dormant in me for that long with no prior symptoms and now all of a sudden full blown?

I agree with the PP, it's only fair. I understand that it's embarrassing, and adding insult to injury. Think about it from the other side though, you'd want to know and be tested if there were a chance as well. Good luck with everything, and I hope that you start to feel better soon.

You will probably NEVER KNOW who gave it to you, so be honest and tell BOTH of them...separately. It's only fair and the right thing to do.
