HSV 2 Transmission


Recommended Posts

Quick question. I am diagnosed with HSV 2 but I've never had an outbreak. I remember once I got what I thought was a mild case of angular cheilitis but I remember I was just itchy so I scratched it and it kinda broke the skin. It might've been prodromal symptoms because I felt tingling (the kinda tingling you feel when you eat an orange and the peel rubs on your lips and it leaves that numbing sensation). It was before I was diagnosed so I've never seen blisters, canker sores, or lesions.

 

I went on a date with a guy and I disclosed on the first date that I had HSV 2 (but I don't know where). We have only kissed and now he's having flu-like symptoms and I'm worried I might've given him HSV. I really hate not being able to live my life normally but I'm learning and doing my best to be responsible.

How were you diagnosed? HSV2 is extremely rare in the mouth, so if you were positive it is most likely genital. It looks like it wasn't a swab test since you don't know where you have it. Did you have a blood test? If you did what were your values? If it was an igm test (igm test are not reliable) retest with an Elisa igG test.
