1. Does this mean he has had it for at least a few years? He’s the only person I’ve been with for the last 2 years, and said he had clean tests before I got with him.
Oh definitely, he’s had it for a while
2. Before results, we had unprotected sex (7 times) and kissed over the course of 8-9 days. We have stopped all kissing and sex at this time. I will get tested at 3/9/12 weeks as I am pregnant. What is the likelihood of transmission to me?
Does he know it if is oral or genital, the HSV 1? The most cautious thing to do during pregnancy if it is oral is to avoid receiving oral sex during pregnancy
3. How much does hsv 1 shed in adulthood? Out of all the time I have seen him, I have never seen any herpes like lesions anywhere on his body.
It depends on if it is oral or genital – genital HSV 1 shed rarely, oral much more often.
