yes you can still have sex with your husband!

I encourage you to google the free herpes handbook by terri warren and read it. it will answer a lot of your questions.

will hubby get discharged from the military if he tests + for hsv2? no he will not. they'd have to discharge 25% of their recruits if they did!!

odds are that hubby has never been tested for herpes. it's not a part of routine std testing in the military. He should seek out a type specific herpes igg blood test himself at this point to see what his status is.  since you've tested negative in the past ( just confirm that indeed you were tested for herpes those times ), if you've had no other new partners, odds are he has hsv2 himself.  

will having genital herpes affect your ability to get pregnant? no it will not.

keep asking questions!

Unless there has been a lab mix up or contamination, you have HSV2. The retest should sort this out.

Make sure the tests in 2010 were for IgG antibodies, no other test is conclusive.

If all is confirmed, then your husband is the source.

The odds are not in favor of a false positive. There is no reason not to be trying for another child, in all likelihood you may have had the virus during your first pregnancy. Work with your doctor to manage the pregnancy appropriately.

Yes it is also most certain you have HSV2. Does this accord with sexual history and symptoms?
