In the pass five years my wife would get full std test during pap. She said it has always came back negative.
Do you think it was missed each year by the anti body blood test?
It’s difficult to say. The other thing is that you could have recently infected her, unrelated to your other contact, right?
I also thought it was strange that her off index number was similar to mine.
Are you absolutely certain that there was no mix up between the two tests?
Does that mean my wife also had this as a child?
Not necessarily
If I had this since I was young. I never had a cold sore outbreak as young child.
Is there risk of transmitting this to any other body part?
No
Thank you so much. I assumed that this encounter was the cause of my diagnosis.
Thank you for easing my mind.
You’re welcome
One more question. Should we not refrain from doing oral?
I don’t see why that would be a good idea, as long as you are absolutely certain that there is no mix up in those test results
Since we both have hsv-1 are there any additional risk? Should we continue with life as normal or be cautious?
You should continue life as normal.
