During the summer I had my annual check up and had a normal pap smear. During that same period my sexual partners changed, my current partners ex, was told the other day that a rash in her pubic region looked like herpes and they were doing a culture to determine. She feels that she contracted the virus from her ex, who she thinks got it from me (he was having sex with both of us for a while). I was tested for std's as well during my annual check up this past summer and was told all was clear, but I don't know if they tested for Herpes. I know that you can have an abnormal or atypical pap smear if you have HSV-2. My question is can you have a normal pap smear if you have HSV-2? I am waiting for her results to get tested but want to know could I have had HSV-2 and still had a normal pap smear
