Herpes without an outbreak?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I was told after getting what I think is a regular std screening that I tested positive for herpes type 1. Now I’m confused as I’ve been researching the web a lot. How could I test positive without any visible outbreak? I read that they are blisters and I’ve never had any. I told my partner and his results came clean. How could I have this? I’m dying just thinking of it. The doctor I saw gave me not much to work with other than most of the population has it. I am going to retest on the 8th but I’m terrified. Could I possibly have had it and not known? Why is this showing up now and not before? Someone help.

My boyfriend was asymptomatic as well, has never had an outbreak, single blister, orally or genitally. But when we did our blood tests he tested positive for type 1 also. He is aware of his mother having cold sores and we figured that he must have picked it up from being kissed by her as a child.

Its helpful to knkw which type you have. HSV2 presents genitally where as HSV1 mostly presents orally but when in a contagious state can be passed from oral to genital.
Hoping you never experience an outbreak (though my primary was breif and now a distant memory).

Disregard the last portion of my response.
You and my boyfriend are in the same boat being asymptomatic which is fortunate, but still makes the diagnosis a shock
sorry your going through this. How are you doing/feeling? Hopefully better.
