what does my bf have?

I am going through my first outbreak currently of genital herpes. I went to the ER where they swabbed my blisters/lesions but did not take blood. My boyfriend currently must have given it to me. I was tested little over a year ago while I was with my ex and everything was negative. I didn't do anything sexual with anyone else till my current boyfriend. I started having sex with my current boyfriend 6 weeks ago. I was on the nuvaring and he said he had been tested and everything was fine so we never used condoms. About 2 weeks ago I started having symptoms such as itching, pain during sex, burning, etc. ER doctor thinks I must have contracted it from my current boyfriend due to the timing of this outbreak. Now my question:

How can I find out if I have HSV 1 or 2? I only have had genital symptoms. My outbreak has been terrible. I know the ER doc didn't draw blood but I am suppose to follow up with my obgyn. Should she draw blood?

Lastly, how can I tell what my boyfriend has? He is going to go to his doctor now that he knows I have it and see what the doctor is going to do/say but he hasn't shown any symptoms. I remember him having a bump on his lip once or twice during our relationship. Could it be that he has oral herpes and gave it to me genitally during oral sex? If this is the case, we had intercourse a lot without a condom. The last time we did was when I was already presenting with itching, burning, etc. Does that mean if he did have oral herpes only that now he could have it genitally as well? Or because he already had it orally, would that provide him with immunity from getting it genitally?

This is all very confusing. I am worried because I would like to avoid us both having it genitally AND orally if possible.

It is not a definite thing that your boyfriend gave it to you, but it is very likely. Are you and your boyfriend aware that herpes testing is not included in the standard screening for STD's?

I would say that your gynecologist could do the blood tests for you to determine whether you have GHSV 1 or 2. It's good to read that your boyfriend is going to go to the doctors also. Yes, there is every chance his bumps were cold sores and if that is the case, during an outbreak he could have easily passed it to you genitally during oral sex. In fact since we have to also consider viral shedding, he would not necessarily have to of had a visible sore at the time.

It is possible your boyfriend could also now have genital herpes but it would depend where your first symptoms appeared. Also, as you mentioned, it is just as likely he will not contract it because he has already built up antibodies.

I understand your confusion. It's certainly never just black and white when it comes to herpes. Soon, you will have your results and so will your boyfriend and slowly, it will become much clearer to you.

      Hello "NerdP423"..... well, you've certainly covered all your bases as it relates to testing for herpes.  And without question, the answer is clearly "No" you do not have HSV2.  Two Western blots and multiple swabs and IgG tests are all telling you the same thing... you don't have HSV2.  Also, almost all your symptoms are not remotely related to herpes.  I have not heard of anyone taking over a year, in spite of multiple testing, before they finally come up positive.... it makes no sense. I fear you may be obsessing on this virus and have somehow convinced yourself you have it.... despite your myriad of testing that says otherwise.  You need to try and calm your mind down as it relates to this virus.  If the symptoms you listed are still of concern, you should pursue answers from a doctor but, pushing for an HSV2 answer makes no sense at this point..... I hope you get some clarification on your symptoms but, again, you clearly already have your answer as it relates to HSV2.   Best of luck.

      Hi "Janiewayne"..... I'm sorry you got some not so good news regarding the virus but, glad you found this site.  How were you tested for the virus?  Was it a PCR swab of a sore/lesion?  It would be too soon to have an IgG antibody test if you believe your infection may have occurred as a result of the one night stand only a month ago.  Do you have a copy of the results yet?  Can you upload a copy so we can look it over.... sometimes things are misinterpreted so, it can't hurt to have others look over the results to be sure you have accurate results.  Have you had sores/lesions?  How soon after your sexual encounter?  Did they also test you for HSV1?  If so, what was that result. I know it's very unsettling (to put it mildly) at this stage.... but, I assure you, it will get better.  Never underestimate your ability to adapt to a new situation even if it's less than an ideal situation.  It is a relatively innocuous virus and only occasionally manifests and causes you any symptoms.... which can typically be drastically controlled with antivirals. I hope you will share your results and we can get an accurate accounting of what is going on.... take care for now.... one step at a time.

      Silly kids.  I find cheap healthy fix.  Fixes immune system.  Safe effective. .  I'm 20 years into health movement.  I finaly see it . Found doctor who gives free information.  Actually saves lives .  Seen best forgetting medicines. Works same as new doctors iv therapy's.    You have to fix your immune system.. no vaccine will do it. It injures immune system.   I know how to fix intestines . Gotta heal and plump thicken up.   Chasing money mans dreams buying deadly vaccines. no way vaccine will help you.   Need nutrion and raw milk diet or need like Gerson therapy diet... lots grapes can work . Actually grapes and raw milk best fir intestines...  milk make sick first cause it's detoxing bad bugs and body getting out of body.  Be healthier after words... only thing I know combat uossy stomach indigestion fast or drink to prevent eating junk is raw milk.   Intestines get thin dry up.  Milk plumps you back up.   Organs intestines new blood .     I got books on it from doctors... once in a while vaccines can trigger immune system to recognize fight cancer.   Any jabs specially covid jabs paralyze part of immune system then get cancer other problems.  Set disease free vs fighting it...       If you knew how they rig trials to pass drugs . If new I think Monsanto runs fda now.   Old ceo presidents of big pharma retire then work for fda.  They pass deadly drugs get sued.  Rename it then give bad drugs to people. very evil man...   stem cells better option.    I forget can find dive chambers.   Cheap hyperbaric oxygen chamber .  Push oxygen all through body juices and cells...  that should help.. heals old wounds and brain as well ... so cant lose there.  Can kill bugs viruses just sitting in a tank.  Do it for week or 3 days at a time.   Be around 250 a dive.   Best new medicine I've scene . New technology is to expensive.  45 grand but worth it if in Car accident brain injuries on wheel chair.  It get you walking again in few weeks.  Any way good luck. Where I would go and forget vaccines.  Eugenics people still exist.  They into medicines and vaccines.  Get educated you stay away from there medicines if you can. Lol.

Sex is bad get married .  Go get 50 zinc pills,  vitamin A 10 000 and D3 5000.  Take 1 A and 2 D3 with a zinc .  You be way better.  From modern medicine with real doctor and hospital.   Build killer white t cells. They can kill viruses... cells get thicker and slippery so hard to infect and contain infection .  You feel better tate away .  Out breaks be way better . Even quicker to no smells they can create . .  Fights it inside the body ... when it comes out body attack kill it ... in year might be no more out breaks . 6 months you see huge difference most likely...  best medicine backed by science.  Cheap effective...  zinc is just chemistry thing. Keeps mouth cleaner killing bugs . Helps prevent catching things through mouth juices slime... just chemistry virus ant gonna like being around.    That simple.  Your lucky I came back ...  doctor has virus killing iv therapy he uses from 1930s from Germany.  Old family practice from his  grand father  at least.

      Gotta fix intestines to improve immune system.  That is grass fed raw milk ...  all there magic potions will always compromise your immune system...  you just need 2 vitamins and a mineral . Body produces virus killer cells ...  fighting the virus when it comes out to play.   Shedding dont matter... gonna shed the body is getting rid of virus to get healthy. Detoxing basically. Better out than injected into your blood stream infecting you...  just take building blocks.  Body fights it 24 hours a day .  After year you be almost cured . Lot better . 2 years might be no problems.    Never trust big pharma.  They selling expensive products.  Thay dont work usually.   I only came back cause I actually found doctor free advice . Doctor saved lives from bugs viruses.  Regular doctors left them to die period .  Exciting man. I be more excited but I got other problems and damages.  Lol. I figured it out.   Be fool to try virus iv as well.  It can fix immune system problems cause body attacks virus but it attacks you in process...  taken me about 20 years.  Finally put it all together...   vitamin d  is low you die of covid or col flu .  You hardly get sick or catch anything if vitamin d is high enough...  vitamin d is low your immune system don't work or not good enough .  Guess what happens if got a safe vaccine regular cold? If low on vitamin d  your immune system cant fight the vaccine and build immunity.  You may die in few days or week... vaccine cant even work unless you have healthy immune system... lol.  Vitamin d deficiency...  add vitamin a and d3.  Cell walls get thicker and slippery . Hard to infect and contains infection ...   pretty cool man ...  everybody is low on vitamin d in winter.  We get colds and flu season.  Not enough sun shine ... simple world made complicated... doctor backed what I am saying with patients testimony he saved treating other bugs viruses.   Take care ... I'm excited to help. Out nothing for trying .  Might cost you 30 bucks for couple months of pills ... lol.
