Go go go! I wish you ALL the best, I am sure it will be totally fine :)

Well first, your post is very confusing in how you explained things. Is your partner diagnosed w genital herpes and what kind? Does he also have oral herpes? @sil88 is from the UK and can answer some questions for you I'm sure about how you go about it there. I was quite nervous, that is why the confusing post. My partner has never had a partner with diagnosed genital herpes or similar, ever, not even a cold sore. He remembers maybe dating someone that had a cold sore but it was a comment this partner said a long time ago. My partner is totally fine, I freaked out after a scare and realised I could have been putting him at risk so researched and went to the clinic for a check up when something odd appeared. Still waiting for the results. I have always had HSV1 and I used to live in Spain and got a complete blood test and remember seeing that as positive, but not HSV2, besides I have been dealing with it since I was probably 10 and knew they cold sores could be contagious but had no proper education on the issue. Maybe I am just being paranoid because I've been having stupid mild symptoms since the day I started obsesively researching (I have been checking myself down there, nothing seems odd) and I freaked out I might have something and did not want to put my partner into more risk, that is why I got checked. I want to learn how to deal with oral herpes and freak out less because it is ruining my life. I am obsessed and haven't touched my partner since then. He got a little bit angry that I didn't know anything about the issue but brushed it off and said well, there is always a risk, I could get hit by a car. But last week he got angry at me for a minute regarding this issue and yelled saying I should have known more about this if I have had it for ever, but later he realised he was just nervous and adjusting and said that we would go through this together...I guess he is just as scared as I am. Did not help that I told him he could leave me if he wanted to because I have this, lucky for me (for now), he said you do not say that, we work this out and solve this together... We've had issues these days for other reasons but I can't help but be paranoid it has been this herpes realisation due to my cold sores... Sorry for the rant, I literally have no one to talk to about this...

Hello lovely people, I live in the UK and I find a lot of doctors are not really aware. I have always had HSV1 in my mouth but recently, got more information, became educated and realised (after being in a relationship for almost a year) that I could put my partner at risk. He has never had a breakout, anywhere (just jock itch that went away in a day and has had it in the past years before he met me, I doubt this was a mild breakout). I have never touched him in a prodome stage or with an open sore, but I have decided to get another Blood test and a little swab in a cut that appeared in my anal area (looks totally like fisure and have had it for a while, lets say stomach issues) within hours of appearing, probably less than 10. My ladybits have been feeling a little bit weird since he performed oral sex on me with a stub (did not have a cold sore or similar) like 2-3 weeks ago, and after that scare I decided I could not be in the dark and researched and went to the doctor. It's not the first time I have given myself false symptoms, my hormones have been off the roof due to the pill and I've always (since I was a kid) had sensitive skin, so I feel like I am being REALLY paranoid. All I want is for me to have this orally and not genitally... I am freaking out badly. All I would like to do is talk to someone who understands our situation and be able to connect with people in the UK or all over the world. Anyone from the UK? How did you request the blood test and where? Swab was easy and quick. Hope all of you have a great day and thanks to everyone that collaborates, seriously. You guys are great xx
