Anal herpes vs vaginal herpes question

[Alisonbr]

The person that gave me hsv2 & I were dating for two months prior to our first time which was anal because I was on my period and then two or three days later I know something was wrong and went to doc who did pcr scrap test . Anyways we never had vaginal sex and while I was trying to forgive him and move on I couldn’t so I ended it. Anyways of course I’ll use protection, I always have but does that mean I only have herpes anally ? I’m goons ask my doc soon . So far only met with the urgent care doc who took the sample and called me to tell me I had hsv2.

Incase your wondering I was trying to forgive him because he didn’t know and had std testing which we both just found out doesn’t include Herpes unless you specifically ask.

I have mine around that area as well. My doctor told me I should only have breakouts around there but can still be shedding with vaginal sex. I have ghsv1, I haven’t had a breakout since diagnosed (4 months ago) and take daily medication. Since the infection “lives” in your lower spine it is not specific to anal herpes I think its still genital herpes but that should, from my understanding, be where the breakouts are.
