I can best help you if you get a copy of your std results and post them here for me to look at - e.g. hsv1 igg 4.3 and hsv2 igg 3.3 or whatever they are. That way I can be sure that you were properly tested and also see if you need any additional confirmatory testing done.
the free herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com is a terrific resource to learn more about herpes too if you haven't read it yet.
I did a general std test and came up positive for both hsv1 and hsv2
what testing did you have done? are you positive for hsv1 or hsv2?
genital herpes is only a risk to people you are having sex with. it's not an issue for routine day to day contact with others.
