I told her we can't but didn't talk about my dx. I'm so scared... and starting to feel down again. I don't know if its the acyclovir but I havent been feeling like myself. Wish I could just crawl under a rock and disappear :(

And it is very unlikely that the married one would get GHSV1 because she has it orally, correct?

Sorry to hear, but keep your head up

I just found out today (yesterday I suppose) that I have genital HSV1. I had been prepping myself for that result for the past week so I don't feel as awful as I did Saturday when I first got tested, but still pretty down. The urine and blood results both came back negative so they took a culture from the sores which came back positive. This means the infection is new, no? Where it's complicated is I believe it's from my most recent partner who I have only been with since late November or early December. However, not to long before that I was with someone I had been with off and on for about a decade who is married. I know she has had a cold sore before and she only performed oral on me once over a year ago. I'm clearly cutting off all sexual contact with her, but I don't know if I should tell her as I think the infection came after the last time we were together and I don't want to get her worked up over nothing. I told the recent partner as nicely as I could considering everything and she's saying it's not her. But with the apparent newness of the infection it could only be either of the two. What to do?
