No I did not repeat my test after the last one. but the thing is my partner and I never have been symptoms about that. we were healthy people any std .. Unless that me or he had hsv a long time and now  is my first outbreak. well hard to know. he did not check yet about hsv. and the other individual  said " I ' m not have any std"  we had a discussion and now he is my enemy. is confuse.. Grace  the point  is that I feel really bad in my conscience. I ' am thinking why me and this cause to me stress.

really at this point, unless you get a return of symptoms to have cultured, no way to know if your hsv1 is oral or genital.  not likely a recurrence of hsv1 genitally would present with that many lesions.

did your partner at the time seek out type specific herpes igg blood testing ot know his hsv2 status?  did you repeat your herpes igg blood testing after that initial 7 day post encounter test?

I don't know but , I think is genital because the lesions was around the anus and pubis ... but the doctor said me the blood test show that is herpes simplex 1 (hsv1 ). I didn't other test only an hiv test it was negative  at 3 months.  Maybe i will go to another doctor for obtain especific results. and then i will post  here. thanks for response.!!! apreciate that.

just a blood test and not a lesion culture isn't helpful to tell you if your hsv1 is oral or genital.  Odds are it's an oral hsv1 infection and your uti symptoms really were just a uti.

have you had any other testing done?

if you had a blood test that was hsv1+ 7 days after kissing/having sex with  someone, that is showing a previous infection with hsv1, not a new one.  

I can best help you if you get the actual results to post here - e.g. hsv1 igg 7.9 and hsv2 igg .45 or whatever they are.
