Transmit HSV 1 without having it

[bomber18]

Hi,
Is there a way that genital herpes type 1 be transmitted from a person to another while the first is asymptomaic.?

For example if someone had sex with an hsv1+ person and then had sex with another person and that other person gets the virus. How come the virus is undetectable by the person who had sex with the 2 persons.

Thanks

even the best blood tests still miss 1 out of every 10 hsv1 infections. At this point impossible to know if your partner had hsv1 genitally previously and this was just her first obvious recurrence of it that made her go to be seen and get proper testing done or if it was a new infection for her.   Because of the issues with the hsv1 blood tests, even her testing negative for hsv1 on the igg blood test doesn't mean this is a recently acquired infection for her either unfortunately.  

odds are if you do have hsv1 yourself, you didn't contract it from the sex worker you used.   You could've contracted it as a child or from anyone you kissed in your lifetime.

don't confuse the guilt of your encounter with the sex worker to make you think it was riskier than it really was. I assume you also covered your other std testing bases since there is another partner involved?

I would say that she either had hsv1 before you and just now got the outbreak or you are one of the 5% who will test neg for hsv even tho you do infact have it or she got hsv1 from someone else! If she just recently had the outbreak Then if she takes a blood test igg and gets a neg for hsv1 then you will know that it was a recent exposure, if she tests pos then ull never really know.

Yes she tested positive for HSV1 while having the outbreak which was awful and that happened a couple of days after the unprotected sex with her both vaginal and oral. I am really lost and do not what to do.

It sounds like you probably didn't get anything from the call girl if you used protection.

You said you were tested for HSV1. You might also get tested for HSV2 just to cover your bases.

Do you know that your partner has HSV1? Has she been tested to confirm?

[bomber18]

The blood test was done 5 months after the encounter. the first person was a call girl. So yes i cheated on my partner and it the biggest mistake of my life.
I also remember one thing during the cheat: before having protected vaginal intercource the girl went to the bathroom and wasjed herself. Did not think much as a stupid and like a fool
I did but it was not a long penetration couple of minutes. I remember also that for a couple of months i felt burning sensations each time i ejaculate on one side of my penis and always check to fell if i had sore but never seen one. These feeling would last for a day or two.

After that one evdnt time with my partner we did only protected sex and maybe only 4 or 5 times in a period of 6 months.

How long ago did u sleep with the first person? You have to wait a couple months before the blood test is accurate.

It is mostly the first scenario you mentioned. Got tested for hsv1 and it was neg.
Could it be a different STD that was passed but the hsv virus showed up? It is so weird and i am freaking out, myself being the middle person and the the person 2 is my partner that i know she did not have genital hsv1.

Some people are lucky and never get a noticeable outbreak, so if your senerio is the Case then I would say that the middle person got hsv 1 from the first and gave it to the second through asymptotic shedding. Or the third person got it from some1 else. The only sure way to know if you have hsv1 without any syptoms is by taking a blood test.
