what are the odds
I have been recently diagnosed with genital herpes and the partner i had never showed any signs of have anything we were together for about 6 month and after i found out about the herpes he stop talking to me completely. i know for a fact that i got it from him but he says no. if we were having unprotected sex for about 6months what are the odds of contracting herpes with no symptoms or signs in that period of time and if i didn't get it from him what are the chances that he got it from me?
no way to know at this point what was going on with him. if you are are no longer together then it's up to him to follow up on his side of things. what's important is you taking care of you at this point.
You need to pursue testing to find out if you have hsv1 or hsv2 genitally. Knowing which type you have is very important as far as you and future partners deciding what precautions to take as well as for you to decide if daily suppressive therapy is a good option for you or not. I'd start with calling the clinic you were tested at to see if they typed your culture to know if it's hsv1 or hsv2. if they didn't then you can pursue a type specific herpes igg blood test. it's not automatically hsv2 just because it's genital.

after our last encounter which was about three months ago the next day that was when the pain in the growing got worst then two little bumps appeared two weeks prier to that he was having flu like symptoms took some antibiotics that his mother gave him we never thought anything of it. if i didn't get it from him what are the chances i gave it to him and are the chances high?
the doctor never told me she just said that the culture came back positive for herpes.

Was your culture hsv1+ or hsv2+?
I have no idea what the last few sentences of your question are about. could you perhaps rephrase them and see if that helps? who is her that you are concerned about?

a culture was taken the doctor told me at the hospital that it was an initial outbreak it was REALLY BAD. my doctor has been my pcg since i was 15 she knows everything about my body if feel a little sick i'm in the ER for any little thing i go to the for anything doctor. i would have notice an itch a bump anything i have OCD when it comes to my body i mean really they know me by my name at the hospital. after our last encounter which was about three months ago the next day that was when the pain in the growing got worst then two little bumps appeared two weeks prier to that she was having flu like symptoms took some antibiotics that his mother gave her we never thought anything of it. if i didn't get it from him what are the chances i gave it to her and are the chances high?
Over 90% of folks who have hsv2, have no idea that they have it until they are tested. If you were never tested before, no way to know if this is a newly acquired infection for you or not. About 1/2 of all presumed newly acquired infections are just the first obvious recurrence. what testing did you have done?
