This guy is not only toxic but emotionally abusive. I'm sorry about your friend and your diagnosis. You were as honest as you could be with your ex. Rest in that. YOu don't owe him anything.

My doctor just called my back and said since I was only .01 over the 'negative' range, the test was somewhat inconclusive for HSV2. He said I could retest in 3-6 months, but he sees no need unless I have symptoms.

I don't have the answers as I am struggling to confirm my own diagnosis. I just wanted to say I understand your feeling of panic but I am realizing that even if I am positive, I can still have a great life.

Herpes?! I had some vaginal itching this summer and what looked like an ingrown hair. Dr confirmed it was "nothing" but a yeast infection. But I was worried (because I worry about everything) so I wanted STD blood tests. (Just got married last year and my H and I were not tested before started having sex. Each of us had a few prior partners, both married before. He has never had symptoms) My HSV1 level was 1.27, which is positive. Fine, easy to understand. My HSV2 IGG test came back with a very low positive of .90 which the internet tells me may not actually be a positive but the nurse at the dr's office tells me it is definitely positive. So I don't feel confident to know if I actually have HSV2 or not! And the Dr. hasn't called me back. Ugh. Crying, shame, confusion, FEAR. This sucks. I can't seem to focus on anything else. Husband is being great, reassuring me that we are in this together.
