[|Human|] my partner just found out he has hsv2, we have not been using protection at all times. I was tested 6 months ago so I know that it wasn t me that infected him. We started dating several months ago. I asked him to get tested recently and the results just came back that he is infected. He has never had an outbreak and we have had unprotected sex at times. His doctor said since it was a false positive he will need to be retested and that the flu shot that he was given before the test could have thrown off the results. I am getting tested on friday but I have been doing research and of course I m worried. Is there a less likely chance that he could have given it to me since he s never had an outbreak ?
[|AI|]  Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor, Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus 2. Most individuals carrying herpes are unaware they have been infected and many will never suffer an outbreak which involves blisters. As you are having genital herpes for the first time, you may have to consult your dermatologist. As you are not able to consult your doctor for another one week I would suggest you to follow1. Keep the affected area clean and Chat Doctor. Apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth.3. You can apply Vaseline over the lesion4.
