Shocked and in desperate need of direction

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have been with my girlfriend for almost 4 months now. I got tested a year ago and a half ago and all was well. Since then, I haven't had any risky behavior and actually had very little sex because I was living in a new area and didn't know anyone. Two weeks before we met she was tested and was negative. I have never ever experienced any symptoms or sore or anything of that sort. 5 days ago she had a fever of 101 and cold sweats. The next day she felt much better. The third day she experienced more flu symptoms, had a swollen lymph node (on her neck, my groin) on one side and said she had what looked like a pimple on her labia. The first doctor said it was just a virus and she was sick. She saw the gyno and she saw the "pimple" and said she was 95% sure it was herpes and took a culture . 5 days in, no additional sores, but slight fever is back. I can't understand how we got this. We both felt like there was no way we had anything. I'm wondering if it's possible her test right before we met came back negative by mistake or what. And how I could have given it to her if I had been tested and literally had no symptoms. What are we supposed to do. This is destroying our relationship and we really do care deeply about one another. I need help and guidance. And a way I can speak to someone I have more answers. I didn't want to go into the possibility of her test being wrong with her because she is already freaked out and angry and I didn't want an argument about who gave who what by she is adamant I gave it to her when I really feel like there's no way. Anybody with similar circumstance or can guide me somewhere for some help?? I'm desperate for answers and the tests won't come back for 3 days.

    Yall have to stick together and not point fingers cause y'all obviously don't know. There is a possibility that you gave it to her , since you went longer without being tested. Yall should find ways to treat it and stay safe. This should bring yall closer and open ypur eyes to the world

      That sounds like what he wants to do, but not necessarily what his gf is doing. Best thing here is for this not to be herpes, or at least not Type 2, since it sounds like she's already none too happy about it, even before proper diagnosis. Also, herpes is not a reason to stick together. That depends on other things.
