Hi,
My doc just tested me for Herpes 1 and 2. The last time I was tested for Herpes was November 2016. My doc believes there's a 90% chance that I don't have either one. I haven't experienced any cold sores, lesions, fever, chills etc. since that last test in November. I'm also on PrEP, which reduces the likelihood of HSV-2 transmission by 33%. My doc expects worse case scenario is that I have HSV-1. I have quit a few partners over the past month and have engaged in oral sex quite a few times. None of my partners have had cold sores or anything out of the ordinary that I could see. I've also engaged in protected anal sex as the insertive partner. I've only had one BRIEF instance of unprotected sex for 3 seconds which I stopped before it could go further. Here are my questions:
1. What is the likelihood that I have either one?
2. My doctor says if I have HSV-1, I don't have to tell partners.
3. He says if I have HSV-1, he can't tell me whether it's oral or gential. How does that help me?
4. I get my results on Wednesday. How do I cope until then?
