My partner is not understanding with asymptomatic means I guess I keep trying to tell him and explain to him what it is then it could happen and I'm not upset with and I'm not mad I just don't want him to bring me it really hurts my feelings I'm just so lost and confused If any of you have kik hit me up let's have a conversation about this bamfchick83. He is one of those know it all I'm right kind of guys so its kinda frustrating trying to have a conversation with him about it without him blaming me and being upset with me

The begining paragraph is a little confusing do you think it is my first outbreak and you think I was a carrier and it was dormant and that's why it's so bad I'm a little confused. I In fact went as a walk in today because it just kept getting worse yes I did start on meds because my mom has it so I started on what she gave me. so the doctor just prescribed me but I had already been taking he said it was a very bad outbreak. The dr did do a swab test I'll go back next week when I had my original appointment to get the swab results I did tell my partner that I had been sleeping with about it and he blames me he said that I gave it to him that there's no way that he gave it to me that he had never had any symptoms whatsoever and there's no way he gave it to me.  He is making me feel like the worst person on earth. I'd never intentionally Pass this on and if the incubation period is 3 weeks it would be just about right on time for me to have an outbreak. the guy that I'm dating is extremely mad at me says that I ruined his life he's going to take legal action against me that I knew I had it and gave it to him. I never had not one symptom of anything until I started feeling sick and then all the sudden hello bumps and blisters and itchy and burning and discharge. he went and got tested but has yet to get his results he just did the blood test because he doesn't have any sores. I did receive oral from him quite a few times but I've never seen anything in his mouth or anything but who knows it could be inside his mouth. I'm just so frustrated that he thinks of me to be that way especially after I made my feelings clear. I'm not one to sleep around.  He was the first guy in 8 years to touch me besides my ex fiancé which I never had any symptoms or ob while with him.

You can also ask ur partner to test now.... If he is positive, then u kind of have a good idea of the time frame of infection.  
I hope he is not vicious person to spread this to u knowingly.  Either way, u should have the conversation with him.  
I am sorry u r going thru this and hope the ob would subside soon.  Did the doc give u meds?  
God bless, S

If this is a bad outbreak and the first you have experienced then there is little doubt that if this is herpes then you were just infected.

Note that you may have HSV1 or HSV2 genitally. If you received oral sex from this partner, then an transmission of an oral HSV1 infection to your genitals is entirely possible.

Equally he may have genital HSV2.

Make sure if the swab comes back positive that it is properly typed for HSV1 or HSV2. If it isn't (many cultures aren't) then you can request that the sample now have the further testing applied.

Omg you are so smart!  I wish I would have seen this earlier because I decided to go walking instead of wait for my appointment next week the doctor looked at it  For one second & said its herpes! Which in my heart I knew.  He did a swab. Said there was no evidence of a previous ob. He said mine was pretty bad actually.  I go back next Thursday for a follow up and ask them to draw blood and see about that cuz I would really like to know because the guy that I know I would have gotten it from is saying that I did it so I don't know maybe I'm the dormant 1

Hi, yes its possible to have the outbreak as you describe but first you need to confirm this is a herpes outbreak. Its best to have the sores swabbed within 48 hour after appearing and you should have a blood test now to see if youve contracted herpes before. If the swab comes back positive and the blood negative then it would be a recent infection. If the swab comes back positive and the blood positive, depending on antibody value, would be an old infection.

P.S I've never had any symptoms of hsv2 I'm recently out of an 8 year relationship and I've been dating and having sex with someone we've been having sex for about a month and I never had an out break or anything until recently we had sex in 3 days later I have a full blown genital herpes outbreak. I haven't said anything to him yet because I wanted to go to the dr (next week) to get diagnosed but I have the typical flu like symptoms headaches everything else along with outbreak and I mention to him that I wasn't feeling well and he asked me if I'd had sex with anyone else and I have not and he keeps asking me if I feel better how am I feeling just a little suspicious to me. so maybe he knows he has it and its waiting to see if I will have an outbreak I'm just confused I don't know
