  1. I just got tested, because I had a breakout! I didn't get any of these numbers that you have been talking about. Just results. Can you pass this virus to other body parts...I didn't think you could, because yo were already infected. All this is new to me..just found out two weeks ago today, I have it. Had it not been for the breakout, I would have never know. Although, I tested positive for type 1 I was negative for type 2 But, the samples my Dr took from the breakout area, were positive for type 2. She told me my IgG test showed this was due to a recent exposure. Which really freaked me out, because I have been with the same man (now engaged) for over two and a half years. Long story short, he got tested last week and he is positive for type 1 and 2. Never knew it..never had a breakout or a cold sore. He was married for 17 years. his ex wife has never had a breakout. Not sure is she has type 1 or 2. But, he said he would have known if she had a breakout during their marriage. I can't imagine, that she would be negative for type 1 or 2 after being married to him for so long. How can two people be so fortunate to not have a breakout. My guess is, he is a carrier. I have no idea about his ex wife. To be honest, I just knew it was going to be me, who had given it to him..I have been divorced a lot longer and dated a lot more than he, since our divorce. I am the first person he has been with since he divorced. It is just very puzzling how this virus works! I really hope I do not deal with a lot of breakouts. I got on meds right away, and thankfully things did not get as bad as they cold have.
  2. I thought the same thing. Because I am new to this and I am 53 years old. The first thing that popped in my head.. was will I be in a nursing home somewhere and no one knows I have it and helps me take care of myself. See how the minds goes when you hear something, upsetting or something you never thought you would. I just found out two weeks ago, so still processing things. But, I am feeling better and when all the negative pops in my head..I do the best I can to run it right back outta there.
  3. I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years and 7 months. We recently got engaged two weeks ago. He is the only person I have been with during this whole time. He got tested a week ago. His test was positive, for type 1 and 2. My test was positive for type 1. The sample she took from the ulcers was positive. But, my test from the blood was negative. The Dr. called me yesterday and explained this to me very well. Cleared a lot of for me. She said in 4 months or so, my blood test for type 2 would be positive. What is so shocking to me is how he can be positive and has never had an outbreak. Which, I know this can happen. He was married for a long time and I would guess, she is at least exposed to it. She has never had a breakout either. How did I get so unlucky! He said he would have known in their married time together if she had been through a breakout. It's not something you really hide, if you are in a marriage. (I would hope). Since, his marriage ended, I am the only person he has been with. He had NO idea he was a carrier, as my Dr put it to me. It has taken this long in our relationship for me to even go through a breakout. To be honest, I just knew it was going to be me who had given it to him. I have dated a lot more since my marriage than he has.
  4. Hello! I have some questions on the blood test. It's rather confusing. My Dr. told me last week, "this result shows, that my current outbreak was from a recent exposure". It was the IgG antibodies serum test. Below in the notes on the test, negative-No detectable HSV IgG antibody. I know I have HSV I went to the Dr with two ulcers, she called them. So, I do not have any doubts, that I have HSV. It's just the blood work is very confusing to me. I am positive for HSV1 The test said negative for HSVII Which, of course, as stated, I know I have it. She said it seemed to be a "new exposure" to me because I had no antibodies built up yet. I hope I am explaining this well. I didn't want to write a book. :) If anyone can help with more understanding, that would be great! Thank you so much!
