If you had been sexually active before you got married the first time you could have gotten it then and just now discovered you have it because you got tested. Many people approx 90% had no idea they had it. Many have no ob's. Sounds like you have not had an ob as of yet so not to worry.
If you could post the numeric values from the IgG blood test on here then someone can confirm if you were properly tested and if you are in fact positive for HSV 2. If you have an IgM blood test ignore it as it is not a valid test to confirm your Herpes status. If you do not have the IgG blood test values call your Doc to get a copy of them.
We will get you through this and will give you more info when I have more time.
God Bless you and your family and now you can tell your children that this is very common and get all STI testing done before becoming sexually active.View Thread

If the cells shed in the Boxer area... what good does using a condom do?
If I were to get HSV2 by giving her oral... would it show in my mouth? Like HSV1 I already have? I get outbreaks about once a year. It is more of a small annoyance actually.....

These do not sound like herpes from what you describe but we will wait till the Doc gives you the results
Ask for a copy of the numeric test results and the swab results. Post the numeric resultss here so someone can help you confirm where you stand.View Thread

Why not wait for 3 months and then get tested with a type specfic IgG blood test for HSV 1 & 2 to know what your status is.
I would like to say that I am not a medical professional.View Thread
If the figures you posted are an IgG blood test values then your values are definatly negative and a very low negative value.
All you know for now is that you do not have HSV 1 or 2. At this point if you had herpes then I think that you should have seen at least a low positive values but each person is different. I think you should go with your Doc's position that you do not have herpes at this point and I would recommend not have any sexual intercourse and till you get the new Type specific IgG blood testing or HSV 1 & 2 in 2 months from now. At that point you will know more where you stant.
Do not read anything into HsV 1 or HSV 2 being higher or lower from this initial testing.
What ever symptoms you had more than likely may have come from guilt of being intimate with someone and now worrying if you got anything from this encounter.
So in future you may want to think about getting tested before you become intimate with a new partner. And that should be both of you going to get tested for all STI's including HSV 1 & 2. That way you know what each of you has before you become intimate.
God Bless you.

The first stage of HIV (called ARS) occurs 2 to 6 weeks after transmission and are described as "flu like" in nature.
If you remain concerned, the recommended time period for testing is 90 days after the event.
These symptoms are also not connected with any other STD.

Some people have been married and faithful to each other and after 25-30 years they get an ob.

There's a supplement my doctor recommended that I've been taking for about 8 months now. It is proving to be an amazing addition to my nutritional regimen. It is a DIM immune booster by the name of ActivaMune developed at UC Berkeley. DIM, which comes from broccoli, has strong antiviral properties and directly modulates the immune system. My doctor recommended I take double the supplement dosage, so four pills a day to fight my infection. He also recommended that my boyfriend take the same to prevent against reinfection.
I am happy to report that after 6 months I am HPV free! I feel better than ever and all I want to do is share this discovery with others.
Wishing you the best of health!
