Worried I contracted HSV from my husband

Posted , 5 users are following.

imageso me and my husband have been together 5 years. we have 2 kids together and currently 26 weeks with our 3rd.

backstory: my husband was with someone a few years before me who was born with herpes due to her mom... all i know is she would have genital outbreaks.

my mother in law says that my husband got cold sores almost his whole life. also he told me he got diagnosed with impetego before we met but he gets a sore on his lip in the exact same spot about 3 times a year.

well going on 2 weeks ago he had a red area forming on his lip but for some reason i still let him do oral on me... 2 days later his lip has a cold sore and i have a sore on my perenium. it looked like a canker sore like on inside of mouth. then about 5 days later i am broke out on both sides of anus but not on the anus. they are much smaller looking canker sores.

today i had a swab and blood drawn but its going to take time to find out the results so i was wondering if this sounds like he passed me hsv1 also im worried for my babies getting it if it is. idk what to do but i feel disgusting even after a shower.

this is the first night its been hurting when not doing anything too. please help... im 26 and embarrsed

also im confused how the sores are on perenium and anus area but not where he was actually doing oral on the clit area...

trying to post an image when i first found the one on perinium. its really zoomed in due to cropping...
