Reply To: Intercourse with someone hsv2 positive

[anonymus1111]

Also wanted to clarify when I said “same person” in my previous post. I was referring to a NEW more serious partner. NOT the old one night stand partner with hsv2(about a year and an half ago). And while seeing this new partner I haven’t had sex with anyone else since we started talking which was a few months ago.

Here are my main follow ups:
1. I’ve now had 3 physicians do pcr swab tests and they’ve all came back invalid from lifelabs(Canada). They’ve all also said they doubt it is herpes and would be surprised if it was. My concern is just the invalid results continually coming back from proclaimed super sensitive swab tests??? Any idea what’s going on here…? Why would they be invalid?

2. A few days ago (about a week after the last spot had appeared) I got an itchy urethra for a few hours. The next day my urethra felt a little uncomfortable(it didn’t really hurt to pee. Felt pretty much the same regardless the time of day). The next day it was pretty much fine. Would herpes in the urethra present this way?

A few more general questions for you as well:
– Does herpes usually appear/reappear(recurrent outbreaks) at the initial site if infection?
– Does herpes cause itchy urethra? Especially AFTER the spots in question appeared
– What would typical flu related herpes symptoms be?
– Is it common for herpes spots to pop up days apart or usually all at once?
– Is it common for a herpes sore to develop from bump to scab overnight? Or do they blister/ulcerate/scab over a longer period?
– The herpes numbers for transmission are listed as percentages for having sex twice a week over the course of a year. Is the percentage for each act of sex or a yearly total percent.(ex. 4%. Would that be 4% each act of sex or 4% per year)

I’m aware I have made additional 3 inquiries before you could get back to the first. Feel free to group them all together if you wish. Thanks for all your help!
