Reply To: False Positive Results or Early Signs

[Leah76]

Thank you for your replies. I purchased more questions because I believe I used up the questions I had.

What do you think is the probability of me being truly infected with HSV2 based on my test results and sexual history? I don’t know my partner’s status but he claims he never had lesions. What worries me is he’s had multiple sex partners before me and I know most of his encounters were unprotected. Does his sexual history puts me at risk even though I had one encounter with him where we had unprotected genital contact (not intercourse) at least twice for maybe no more than 2 minutes but I came in contact with pre-cum? We also had unprotected oral.

I have kissed other people in the past like open mouth kissing. Could this type of kissing have exposed me to HSV2 especially doing it with multiple people?

Lastly, based on my sexual history and test results. Would you recommend that I do the western blot or am I too low of risk that I should consider myself negative and not worry about it? My inhibition test came back positive

Thank you so much for all this help you’re providing.
