Reply To: Testing and Confusion

[Newly Diagnosed]

My Above NEW IgG 1 & 2 antibody test was done 6/14 (last week) so that would be a bit over 3 weeks since my first outbreak.

Switching to transmission.

Will have bf’s results soon but in the meantime:

If he has oral HSV-1 and I now have GHSV-1, could he have given it to me via fluid exchange while he was shedding? Since we’ve been together he’s not had any oral cold sores, but of course we have kissed, had intercourse, I gave HIM oral after intercourse and then had intercourse again. My hands had both our fluids on them and ended up in or near his mouth during this same evening. He also fingered me once prior to my breakout. How do you figure it was transmitted IF it fact it WAS him?

All this being said, can I get ORAL HSV-1 on top of genital HSV-1 from him through kissing etc., and can he get GENITAL HSV-1 from me on top of his oral HSV-1?

We are both super confused as to what happened here. We are both fine, just trying to make sense of things. He told me no prior partner has ever returned with news of an outbreak oral or genital nor with any positive testing. I haven’t had any either.

Thanks for your help.
