  1. I posted several months ago, I had a positive HSV 1&2 test, still have not had symptoms of either. My past history doesn't rule anything out though. I recently started dating someone, and we had "the talk." My first one, and it went very well! He is also HSV 2 positive, 8 years without an outbreak. I still have yet to have an outbreak, just tested positive. Just wondering what we should do going forward? We have both tested negative for anything else, and pregnancy is not an option for either of us. If we are both HSV 2 positive, are we okay to proceed without condoms?
  2. Another question, has anyone experienced just "phantom" symptoms? I have felt some itching and slight discomfort since finding out my results, but still not an outbreak. I will admit that I do shave on a regular basis, and that sometimes can cause irritation. But, since finding out my positive result, I have had more itching and very slight pain - I'm thinking it might just be psychological, but I don't know. Again, never had an outbreak, at least that I know of. I had the blood test done for peace of mind, but I actually understand a little now why my doctor discouraged me from having it done. I'd love to think I don't really have this, and it was just a false positive, but I also know that it's more than likely I do. I'm new to this, but the amount of information provided on this site is wonderful.
  3. I'm thinking of going to a different doctor. just need to find the right one. I have friends who work at both of the hospitals/clinics close to me, and both work in the record keeping area. I'm still trying to cope with this myself, let alone someone else knowing. From everything I have read, it is very possible that I really am positive - I know it can lay dormant for years. I was with my husband for 12 years, either one of us could have been a carrier. I'm just freaking out because of the stigma that goes with it, but the more I read, the more I realize how common it is.
  4. I had the IgG test done, but my doctor told me she wasn't aware of the number - and had no way of telling what it was. I'm just confused. I've been trying to read up on the internet, but there seems to be so much conflicting information out there.
  5. He has been tested for HSV and is negative. I really do feel like my HSV 2 positive result has changed the way he feels about me. He doesn't really want to have anything to do with me anymore. I am glad to hear that you and your husband have been together for 15 years, no symptoms. It gives me hope.
  6. I was married for 12 years, my husband passed away 1 1/2 years ago. I am confident that both of us were faithful during those years, but our history before we met is questionable. I started seeing someone a few months ago, and he told me he had been tested for everything, requested I do the same before we took things to the next level. I have never had symptoms of anything, but I agreed, thinking everything would come back fine. I do know that some things can go years without showing symptoms. I tested negative for everything except HSV1 and HSV2 - I have both. My doctor actually tried to talk me out of getting the HSV test, since I have never had any symptoms. She told me that outside of an actual outbreak, even a blood test can be inclusive. I thought it was going to be more of a reassurance that I didn't have anything, but instead, it has now caused me nothing but problems. What are the chances that this might be a false positive ( I know, grasping here.) My husband and I both had been with 5+ people before we met, so I know that increased both of our exposure level. Yet, neither one of us ever had an outbreak. I'm a little devastated, and honestly, wish I hadn't even been tested, because then I wouldn't know. But, I want to be responsible too, just not sure what to do now? I have not disclosed yet to my potential partner, I just don't know what to do.
