Tested positive for HSV2
I recently got tested for HSV 1 and 2 at a clinic. My most current sexual history is:
Married in 2006
Tested for everything (including hsv 1 and 2) during pregnancy in 2009 all negative
Tested again in 2010 for everything while looking into tubal ligation, and husband leaving for another partner (we were together twice after he started sleeping with her) everything negative.
late 2011 had sex with one person one time (used protection)
and in 2012 new partner who ended up having a pretty bad outbreak in his throat. We though he had strep. The dr tested to see if he had type 1 or 2 and it came back positive for 1 and negative for 2
I tested positive for 2 with an igg of >5 and negative for 1 with an igg of 5 but everyone I've been with since my last test is negative.

also did your ex husband ever retest? do you know if his herpes testing was at least 3 months after he last had sex with his other partner?
I definitely will post them.
Sorry I meant when I wrote igg of 5 originally (in my first post) that was a typo. My results from that test were:
Type 1 igg of 5

well even the best blood tests can miss hsv1 1 out of every 10 times. if you had a hsv1 igg of 5 originally and now it's negative, odds are you really do have it and the most recent test didn't pick up on it. ( clear as mud eh? )
not having symptoms of hsv2 is meaningless as far as risk to a partner actually. the virus sheds as much whether you have 0 ob's a year or 10. The free herpes handbook we recommend in our read before posting post has terrific info for more reading too.
when you get your newest results, post them here again and I can help you with what to do next.

Sorry, I was waiting until I saw the Dr to post anything else. Also, as a side note I tested negative for type 1 with an igg of <.9 I don't know why I had 5 originally.
So today the doctor said that since I haven't had symptoms the chances of me passing it to anyone else are incredibly minimal without anitvirals (not a license to do whatever, just giving me info). He also thought it was a bit strange that I had tested negative to the type I know I was exposed to.
He refused to do the biokit or western blot, and just reran the blood test.
