Hi
I am assuming HSV2 is the genital type but what I don't get is, me and my partner have been together for 8 months and we both suddenly get symptoms of the virus? I'm very confused, before anyone says anything, we are faithful and I know for sure he hasn't been playing away. I'm pretty sure I have not had it before and he hasn't had outbreaks in the past. It just started recently. He experienced symptoms first about a month ago and was diagnosed with the virus, then 3 days ago I get the symptoms. I haven't been diagnosed but I'm pretty positively sure that its Herpes. So anyway, I've had a problems with BV (bacterial vaginosis) having had two in one year. I seem to have got it at the same time as the HSV2 virus. Is there a link between the two? or is it just that you can get it form having an outbreak due to lack of immune response? helpful answers only please, I fully understand there are "perfect" people out there that have vaginas that smell like roses.. :)
