Reply To: Help with toddler HSV?

[Touley29]

I truly want to believe you but it seems like more than just coincidence that:

Child tested “positive” 2 times AND
IgG was trending upwards AND
Dad has HSV2 AND
the test identified HSV2, not HSV1.

I’m trying to remain hopeful.

Do you think a Western Blot would give more clarity? I feel sick inside thinking about them trying to get more blood from my 2 year old again.

Is this a possible scenario in which my child could have obtained HSV2?
-If I performed oral sex on my husband then I acquired oral HSV2. Then if I kissed my child then they got oral HSV2?

I like to do a blood test periodically for the purposes of family planning. Do you think I could assume if I test negative that my child is also negative? And if I test positive then child is also positive?

Thank you.
