Hey there - I remembered today that I tested positive for HSV1 two years ago via blood test (not sure which actual test was run but it was through planned parenthood). I’ve never had a cold sore. Somehow I blocked this information out at some point and stopped disclosing to romantic partners. Im horrified with myself for having done this and the risk that I may have infected someone without knowing. I can’t seem to find good information on the actual risk, especially given the high prevalence of HSV1 and the fact that it can be transmitted non sexually. Im hoping for insight into best practice moving forward (I do have an appointment to talk to a doc and get retested). Do I tell people before sharing drinks? Kissing? Thanks!
