Reply To: Ex Boyfriend tested positive for HSV2

[MissEducated]

I did speak to the nurse at my doctor’s office and they are trying to get me in for a blood test. She did say given the fact that my ex’s first test was a 1.43 and his second test came through as positive, then it is more then likely I have the virus. She believes past vaginal issues may have been overlooked and given his numbers this is not a new infection.

I feel horrible because I never knew I had HSV2.

I dated a guy in Mexico and that was my first time having unprotected sex. I saw no sores or lesions, then again he was uncircumcised. I remember a yeast infection that lasted 3 months in 2006, it was finally treated, the nurse did not screen for HSV2 because she said she looked under the microscope and it was a yeast infection.

I had another incident in 2007 when my HSV1 infected partner developed a cold sore and I did not know how many days before we had had oral sex. I do remember vaginal irritation and the doctor I went to said no, it does not look like herpes. She saw no sores or blisters, the labia was very red and irritated. She told me to stop using panty liners.

In 2010, I had sex one time with a guy in TX and I made him use a condom. The sex was rough and I stopped seeing him. I did develop a yeast infection and was told again, stop wearing panty liners. I was given A & D ointment.

I just keep thinking something was overlooked and I did this too him. To make matter worse he is married and I am feeling like the whore of Babylon. I did this to him. I feel stupid. Its my fault.
