Imagine you have a girlfriend
who happens to have an x boyfriend who figures to call you and tell you to get tested for Herpes cause he has it.
She swears she has been tested twice since she found out and that she has not contracted it. She went in today to get another test to prove to me that she doesn't have it. Even had the doc write me a note that I had nothing to worry about since they have tested her when SHE found out that her x had it. It would have been nice to know at any rate before hand.
Her x IS on medication and has been on it.
We have been intimate a few times some with protection and some without.
Its been around 3 weeks since we were intimate and I have no symptoms.
I just don't understand how if he has it, she wouldn't???
Should I get tested anyways? Should I be worried.
Please advise.

Accepting that it was over between them. And that they had been sleeping together this whole time because they were together.
yeah she went and go one right away to prove to me. Nice of her. I think it was more the shock of him calling me etc trying to plant bad seeds.
If you two are still together I think it is time to do an STD testing for everyones peace of mind. Getting tested 3 months after their last sexual contact was in fact accurate. The ex had no right calling but oh well you can only do so much right?
Make a date to get an STD testing done and request a type specific igg test for both of you. Then share your results and move on with your I am sure happy and fun filled relationship.

They had been together 3 years, she got tested twice in this period.
We discussed pregnancy etc but not std, she was in a monogamous relationship and I new her for a long time, so I felt I could trust her. Famous last words right.
I agree if she was testing negative no reason to bring it up, but I was unsure because her last test was not after she had stopped being with him.
did you discuss std's and testing and such before you were ever intimate?
no reason for her to tell you if she covered her bases and was negative with testing.
yes indeed, her ex calling you was immature.

If shes tested negative at least 3 months after her last sexual encounter with him chances are she doesn't have it.
Thanks Grace I appreciate it,
It is what it is I suppose. It was her x that called me which is a tad too dramatic for my liking.
If we were having unprotected sex I feel like she should have told me if I was at risk. Im not upset just feel betrayed because I was put at risk since she new.
Yes, her ex had it prior to meeting her and never told her either. Hence the testing twice when she found out.
So if I understand correction you are saying that if she has tested negative then it's unlikely that i have it but it's good to get tested anyways?

if she's testing negative , no reason for her to tell you. it's none of your business what her past partners have.
no, if he ex had it prior to meeting her, she didn't necessarily contract it from him. even the simplest of precautions would still make her at least 90% likely each year NOT to contract hsv2 from a partner.
have you ever been tested for herpes before? if you haven't, now is a good time while it's on your mind. if you want a 2nd opinion on your gf's test results when she gets them, just post them here and I can look at them - hsv1 igg 6.7 and hsv2 igg .34 or whatever they are is all I need to see to help you.
