I have had a relationship with my now fiance over a year and two weeks ago I had a fever for a day then a small genital breakout . my blood test showed HSV 1 and 2, she was tested last year with only HSV 1 positive hse has had long time. what perplexes us is that now she shows positive for HSV 2 , I had not been tested so im not sure if I had it or not , but isnt the flu and being fatigued indicative of an initial contact? or could i have very well had it for years ?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if the viral infection being suspected and it is the history of exposure then better to get done the test and it is the option here to clear the doubt, it is also advisable to go get done the clinical examination hope this information helps.
