Aa
accuracy??!!!
So, I went to the doctor this past Friday and was told that the culture of a lesion(located on vagina) was positive for hsc 2. I haven't had penetration since Sept of last yr and I haven't been sexually active since Dec of last yr(I.E my 1st post explain it all.) Since Dec, I've had reunite checkups(blood work and lab work) I can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that the culture was positive. I tested negative in Feb(blood work) and in march(blood work)
My question is, if the Sept affair was the cause of my positive result then wouldn't it shown on the blood test? The Dec affair was nothing but fooling around no penetration..I did however receive oral sex and he did try to insert it in me unprotected but I never let him. In June I randomly got a fever and sore throat..it last for 2-3 days. I got my 1st lesion in July...I was itching that night so I scratched ...the next morning it was a bump ..it looked like a bug bite or something...it was a blister nor did it have pulse in it. I wear two compression garnishments to the gym everyday so I fig the tightness rubbed the bump too much causing it to peel bc it was open sore the next day. The sore was very small...it wasn't multiple sores just one. I went to the doctor and she said it didn't look like the typical herpe lesion.

So you're telling me if I have unprotected sex and I have no visible lesions, no shedding, and not on antivirals then I can't transmit the virus unless there's a active lesion? So this disease is only a disease if there's a lesion present? So since I have hsv1 ...can I transmit the virus through a romantic kiss IF there's NO cold sore or shedding etc? And if I can pass hsv1 by kissing without a visible cold sore then what if I give oral sex to someone...can they catch hsv1 on their genitals?
No you cannot, either shedding or lesion needs to be in place other wise the virus is inside. really cant figure odds with this but its not on the surface 100% of the time.
If I have unprotected sex(with no lesion or shedding or on antiviral) can I still transmit the virus? What are the chances?
As far as the hsv-1 goes how can I tell if shedding? Can a herpes lesion come on the form of a whitehead pimple? I'll get a pimple on my chin or below/above my lip but never on my lip ...could that be an outbreak? If I cant tell if I'm having a Ob or shedding..is it ever safe to play with my children or share utensils?
If I ever get the tingling feeling bf an Ob, is that where the lesion will appear? Will I experience the flu like symptoms before or after the Ob? Thank you for all your help
