      I understand where you are coming from completely sweetie...

      That's A damn shame . Depending on what type you have it's very very very hard to pass it off to your kids If you have genital herpes . Your husband has had it for only God knows how long and he hasn't seemed to pass it off to them yet .

      What I'm confused about is how they got it from a swab test if you didn't have any current bumps / or during a current outbreak .. Never knew it could happen like that .

      You can't think like that and you need to be strong for those babies if nobody else is ..

      This is not the end of the world and depending on what type you have it is considered just a skin disease ..

      God wouldn't put you through it if he didn't think you would make it .

      If you haven't had an outbreak then it should be coming sooner or later . And those can be soooooo painful .

      How do you feel right now. ? What are you thoughts on everything ?

    The only reason I found out I had it is because we have never had health insurance and we are now able to afford it and I went to the gynecologist because I have been in 5 years and I asked for a full STD screen and they called me at 3:00 pm today and told me....he feels terrible and is crushed more for me than his self because he knows he's the one that gave it to me .... I wanna scream cry and throat punch someone and I have no one to talk to .... We have already decided we are not telling our family so I know I can talk to him but still feel so alone

      Which type do you have and how did they test for it? HerpeSelect? IgG or IgM? What was your index value? Do you get cold sores, or have you ever? These can all make a difference. Did your husband also test? I know this is new to you and very stressful, but your posts are kinda all over the place. Only genital Type 2 increases the risk of acquiring HIV if exposed, and oral Type 1 is the one that can pass via kissing, sharing cups, etc. Better find out more about your diagnosis and how you were tested.

      I was tested when I had my Pap smear on Tuesday this week, they did " swab " testing inside my vag. I also did a blood test but won't be back up to 14 days...

      They are types of antibodies you can test for in your blood. IgM is not advised for herpes, as the test is not usually type specific and is inaccurate, but many doctors don't realise this and still order the test. IgG is the only test you need to do without symptoms. Your husband should test, too, as it's always better to know for sure than to assume, although it's likely he has it. That is "lucky" you tested positive by swab without symptoms. You must have been shedding that day. Was it by viral culture or pcr?

      Type 2 is only passed via sex. Your kids are fine. You can kiss them and even continue to launder your clothing together.

      We also have anal and oral.... Is this a problem? My kids also sometimes grab my toothbrush to brush their teeth.... Can they get it from this?

      Not if you only have a genital infection, but I would discourage this practise anyway. It's not hygienic. Never a good idea to share toothbrushes, even without herpes of any kind.
