I tested positive for hv2 with a low number from a blood test back in September. I've still had no symptoms, but haven't had a chance to get retested. I've been talking to someone and informed him of my situation. Is there any extra precautions that can be done besides the protection? As far as we know he doesn't have it and is afraid if we do anything he will catch it.

    Hi, I got tested in April and it came back positive for hsv2. No symptoms at all, I was going to get retested last week but I was sick.

    I did find out that if your body is building antibodies to fight out an illness or infection then your hsv2 test result will come back positive. I took my test 2 days after my yeast infection cleared up. So I'm going to retest again next month or August.

    My husband tested negative and we haven't had sex yet either. I don't want to pass it on to him. He wants too, it's me not wanting to yet.

      From everything I've read with using protection it is a lower risk for your husband to contract the virus from you. I've did lots of research and asked my doctor lots of questions about this. I haven't had health insurance so I wasn't able to get retested.

      Well of course we will have sex. I'm really afraid too at the moment. My 1st STD ever and I feel a certain way about that.

      I know protection reduces the risk of transmission. Me and my husband never really been fans of condoms! We have been together for over 20 years, I don't know what we are going to do about having sex. It's more me than him, he is fine with it. I'm not I really have to figure this out

      If he's willing to accept it and be with you, I wouldn't worry about it. Me personally I had to start over my bf was killed almost 2 hrs ago I'm not even sure where I caught this . Starting over sucks because now my dating scene is me telling someone my condition before I get too attached.
