Ok thanks

it seems i dont need to worry about herpes. I am sure if i see a dr they want to give me medication. But i have no outbreak or symptoms. i always use condoms also.
Do u agree.

Actually way over 45 million americans have hsv1. The 45 million number refers to hsv2 and that was a long time ago. I think it's over 70 million now have hsv2 to be honest.

Since it was only a week after sex if you want to know your hsv2 status from this particular encounter you'll need to retest at the 4 month post encounter mark. same with repeating your syphilis and hiv testing too if it was unprotected sex.

thank you.

i had a general screening. my test was done after a week of having sex.does hsv1+ means i have herpes. i read on the internet that 45 million americans have herpes. thats every one in my opinion unless you only had one sex partner.

You are hsv1+.

You are negative for hsv2.

How long after the last time you had sex did you have the blood test done? Was there a specific reason why you had it done or just a general screening?
