Brief Answer:
Kindly give more details
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have taken note of your query.
Herpes virus is acquired by close/ intimate contact with an infected sexual partner.
This intimate contact can be in the form of oral, vaginal or anal sex.
Your positive blood test could be because you have a cold sore/ herpes labialis..
You say that he is negative therefore I want to know whether have you had any other sexual partners apart from him?
Regards
