To clarify… I’ve had no sexual parters for the last year until this recent one once and then the outbreak, which swab test came back as HSV2 and the IGG blood test came back negative. I have been tested for HSV2 two other times (IGG)in the past two years and all negative.
Is it more likely the swab test is wrong and it was HSV1 spreading to another part of my body for the first time in 20 years just coincidentally after sex with someone new or is it more likely that I really do have a first outbreak of HSV2 in that area – buttocks?
My regular doc seems to think it was a first outbreak and I must have had maybe a little scratch in the area or something and said to transmit that way he would have had to have an active lesion.
He has been out of town and I kind of want to know the likelihood of all this before I confront him.
