Herpes Help!!!

[Sunny567]

I have a few (complicated!) questions regarding a recent herpes diagnosis!

Background...23yr old female...was diagnosed through blood work. Though I have no traditional herpes symptoms, I have had a burning/irritated feeling "down there", but it is internal and I think may be a yeast infection.

I have only been with two people, one a long term relationship, and one very, very brief random one night stand (bad decision)...I got tested approximately 6 weeks after my last encounter.

First of all, my herpes select scores for HSV II was 2.74.....should I get retested? And how? I know there are a few tests that are used for confirmation, but they seem difficult to get!

Of course, with my timing being the worst, I have recently started seeing a great guy...i was just diagnosed last week, and we had been on 4 dates by then....when is an appropriate time to tell him? Im so nervous and dont know what/how to talk to him about it!

Any tips would be appreciated!

My doc told me that to disclosed that u were tested positive but never had a outbreak so this means u May or may not have herpes.  You can say u r going for a conformation test like western blot to validate the limbo and he can either wait or if he is ok ... Use condom.  I would also ask him to be tested and disclose any stds in the past.   In these day and age... We just can't trust anyone.  This is what I learned and I am also waiting to do my western blot test.  We have to give people a choice as it really sucked that never cared enough to let us know if we are truly positive.  I am praying and hanging on every hope it will be neg.
