Hi since you have hsv1 there are antibodies what would lesson your risk for hsv2 and since your symptoms are mild that would suggest hsv1 if in fact you are having an outbreak. If your concerned do take the blood test but i would not be overly concerned about hsv2.
I went to the doctor today and she did a herpes culture...should come back in the next few days although she said it didn't quite look classically herpetic. She said it looked more like a friction burn or something? I really have no other reason to believe it's HSV2 rather than my already known HSV1 other than the fact that I have had sex with one other guy and my guy from home had sex with two girls and so one of us could have picked it up. Also the fact that genital HSV1 doesn't reappear very often...am I just being really paranoid? I know people who have casual sex every weekend and don't worry about this stuff..........
I think you are reading too much into things. Genital herpes is a 1 in thousands chance per episode of infection. Genital HSV2 is also not so common among younger people and protection has been used which really cuts down any chance in a male to female situation.
Yes, female to male is about 1 in 2500 with no condoms, antivirals (out outbreaks present). Condoms halve the risk and antivirals halve or more again!
With antivirals present your saying..there's no way the risk is that small without them and even a stretch to give that number if antivirals are used (also no one has been using them in my situation)
No, the default is 1 in 2500. If one of condoms or antivirals is used, 1 in 5000 if both used, 1 in 10000.
