Self transferral

Hi,
I was diagnosed with hsv2 genital.  I have had mouth sores since childhood.  I am assuming hsv1. My initial outbreak was 4 days in the anal area.  It lasted for weeks and was unbearable.  My question is , if My mouth is hsv2, and I transferred it to my self. Would I have an almost four week initial outbreak in my genital area after my body would have antibodies for it from my mouth.  

I believe my partner gave it to me after a five month hiatus.  He says I transferred it to myself.  We split after this genital outbreak and my diagnosis after nearly four weeks of problems below.

He is being tested on Monday.  I had a first outbreak starting about four days after having sex with him.  We had been apart for 5 months.  I thought I had a yeast infection. Tried to clear it up.  After three weeks of distress , I finally looked and saw a lesion.  Called my Dr.  Went immediately over and was tested and given yeast infection medicine.   Days later it was hsv2 positive.  My partner is trying to tell me that I transferred it to myself.  We'll see.  I don't believe him.

has your partner been tested?

hsv2 oral is very rare. it is more likely that you have hsv1 oral.
