If your boyfriend also tests negative for HSV 2, you can stop worrying.
Also, it is important that your OB knows and pays attention to the fact that you have genital HSV 1 and closer to delivery puts you on suppressive therapy to reduce the risk of needing a c-section at the time of delivery due to an outbreak. It will also reduce viral shedding at the time of delivery.
