Do I have herpes or am I paranoid?
So my long term boyfriend and I broke up for a few moths when I went to college. During that time I had unprotected sex with two guys. I have been tested for every std except herpes. I have been back with my boyfriend now for six months, and he has no symptoms. I haven't really had anything but know symptoms can be mild or nonexistent. I went to my school women's health center four times to get checked out and was told that everything looked ok. Do I have anything to worry about? I just feel uncomfortable not having a definitive diagnosis.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 5 men have genital herpes; of those 90% don't even know it, due to non-recognizable or no symptoms.
Anyone can find out their herpes status - request an "IgG type specific blood test" to find out your herpes status. Require it from any future sexual partners as well.
