[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope he didn't give you genital herpes. [/quote]

Someone definitely gave her genital herpes. [/quote]
When I was tested after my husband’s affair, they said they can’t “test” for herpes because most everyone has the HSV virus, that the tests can’t differentiate between the type that causes cold sores and the type that causes vaginal lesions. [/quote]

Well that’s just flat out wrong.  I was tested and ex after his affair and there are definitely different antibody tests for hsv-1 and hsv-2. There are tests that distinguish it. He was positive for the oral/mild one, but thankfully negative for the bad one.

Hsv-2 is the bad one.  Hsv-1 is the one most everyone has- oral, cold sores, kids have it sharing drinks, etc. and often never comes back. Hsv-2 is the sexual one that causes the bad genital breakouts. Yes you can get hsv-1 mouth to genital- but it doesn’t cause those bad blistery breakouts.

And, no, most people don’t have hsv-2. [/quote]
