to WCS Dancer 2010.....Hi, hope all is well with family....wow, TY for all the info and advice....we both feel more at ease now that we have been educated .....just so I have it straight: the IgG test results of 2.4 for my lady friend should be retested using the Western Blot.....and for me, should I just be tested for H2 using igG test? with me having H1, I should not go down there on her if I have an open cut or cold sore ....how about her giving me oral? ok, I'm going to digest what u have already told me....TY for being so kind to my lady friend and me.....truly appreciate everything....

to Sil88....just wanted to thank u for your input....I appreciate any and all comments...

Hi, thank you for such a thorough answer......I was the one who prompted both of us to be tested....since we were a couple we wanted to have unprotected sex ( and we did once before being tested), so I suggested we get the complete panel of STD tests...I came back with H1 and she H2....it is suggested I wait a few months for me to be tested for H2 since we had unprotected sex that one time....I will ask her more questions about outbreaks...as u suggested that she may not even know she is having them.....I do feel better after hearing from u....I now have to hope I did not get H2 from the one time with no protection....thanks again....

Hello, I'm Gene and I am 67 and my lady friend is 68.....I have oral H1......she has H2......she is asymptomatic...

 

My questions are:

1. do u shed less as u get older?

2. how do we know if her H2 is oral or genital since she never has any signs or symptoms?

3. how do we know when its safer to have sex?

4. is my risk of getting H2 from her any less because I already have H1?

 

I would appreciate any input....thank you
