Exposed to HSV1 blister 7 weeks ago no outbreak

[aeh]

Hi everyone.

I have posted on here in the past. Today it has been 7 weeks since my HSV1 exposure and I have not had an outbreak. I am wondering on the ethics of this situation since I do not have a sore do I need to tell any partners about my exposure?

I have finally have left the idea of me contracting HSV1 but now I am afraid ill pass it genital to genital ... 

Let me know what you think.

There is a pretty good chance you already have an oral HSV-1 infection, did you have an IgG test to confirm an absence of HSV?

If you were negative for HSV, then have no doubts you were not infected. A freshly minted, primary infection of HSV-1 is an absolute gatecrasher. Little doubt surrounding an infection, sores are pretty numerous and present for a couple of weeks.

Hence you have nothing to disclose.

Be aware though that most of your future partners will have HSV-1 and probably a few will have HSV-2.

WilsonInAus - Okay. I feel I had nerve symptoms after the exposure but that could of been stress and anxiety. But have not had that again. I believe the strain I could of gotten is pretty weak since he gets 1 a year .. 

I ask specifically because I am looking to sleep with an old partner.

Thank you for the response

HSV-1 is HSV-1, strains or not there is no telling how they specifically behave for a person. One thing though is that they do what they do best, cause sores, caused by the virus attempting to escape the skin to infect someone else... what its programmed to do in its DNA.

Do you have a test result, odds are already 70% you have oral HSV-1 thus you couldn't get it again.

This old partner would probably have an 80% chance of having HSV-1 and 25% chance of HSV-2! Have you asked him?

She would be best to test at 12 weeks.  Yes?

No point really, a positive for HSV-1 would simply infer a childhood oral infection.
