Chances of Having Herpes

[Cat89]

So I was in a relationship with a guy for about 2 years. He has HSV2 and I accepted that part of him, sadly, the way he portrayed herpes was that it was fairly easy to prevent with simply the use of condoms and medication. We've broken up and he's proved himself (even during the relationship) to be someone who is un-trustworth and manipulative. I am now freaking out because I decided to trust him instead of do my own research. He said he was on supressive meds for it and we used condoms every time and had one break (about 2.5 years ago). I was tested about two months before we broke up and came back clean, we had sex maybe twice before we broke up (I kept having yeast infections before my period until I changed my diet, but even now I'm still prone to them). There was also one time when we had sex and he thought he had healed from an outbreak but the next day it came back! I am now freaking out, it's been about 5 almost 6 months since I last had sex with him. I am now starting a relationship with a new partner, and though I had never thought about it before, I became very scared that I may have HSV-2 and might unwittingly transmit it to him. I am going to get tested soon, but what are the chances that I could have gotten it from my previous partner? I have never shown any symptoms, or have had any indication of an outbreak.

Thank you so much, that eases some of my worries :) I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow, so I'll see how that goes. I really hope I don't have anything and when I brought it up to my doctor before she said my chances of having it were very slim.

nothing you can do at this point but repeat your test to see what your status is which is what we recommended the last time you posted about your situation. Odds are you don't have hsv2 but cover the bases before moving on to a new partner since you had last tested before you had ended your prior relationship.  also make sure your new partner gets a full std screening done including herpes testing so that you two know who has what before being intimate together :)
