I was married for 17 years, and neither of us had any genital symptoms. However, two years before we divorced, be was unfaithful.

I had shingles about five years ago, then the shingles vaccine (I’m 61). Could that virus effect the results?

I have had fever blisters on my lip a couple times a year for about half my life, so hsv 1 was not a surprise, but he tested positive for that, too. He said hsv 2 is a deal breaker, but he’ll wait for the western blot before deciding for sure.

Thank you for the speedy response, and your kind words. I have called U of W and ordered the western blot kit.
