Hi Terri. Thanks for your prompt response. I understand what you are saying about possible false negatives. And the differences between type 1 and type 2. And I think I understand you are saying the body will in fact produce antibodies after 16 weeks past exposure, regardless of any delay in the primary outbreak. Correct?

Hi Terri, the herpes was diagnosed visually by my partners dr. No swab test was done. Igg tests for her are negative both type 1 and 2. Her symptoms seem in line with a primary outbreak. Small cluster blisters that opened and healed, fever, swollen lymph nodes, body aches..
I am asymptomatic. Negative igg test for both type 1 and 2. I have had no other sex partners in 4 years. She also says she has not had other partners. Obviously, I am skeptical about this. Her explanation is that she was exposed prior to our relationship, but that the virus was dormant until now, thus the negative Igg results. She was also tested 2 years ago for a pregnancy with negative igg. Is her explanation possible? Plausible?
