We did have unprotected sex (obviously at that time, we had no idea that he was infected). He has never had any symptoms of herpes. Beacause he came out positive, I had myself tested. My doc did an IGG blood test and it came out negative. It has been about 20 days since the last time intercoarse took place and we did use a condom. My question is this. Once you are infected, will it show up in the IGG test? Or is there an incubation pieriod before the test can detect it? I did have another IGG blood test ran today. I dont have the results yet, but if they are negative does that mean I am in the "clear"? Do I need to be tested again? And if I do have it, how do I tell my new partner? I feel disgusting, I am not sure how I could have even put myself in this situation!

hey i would most likely ask your doc. but also remember a condom does not protect against herpes also my doctor told me that 3 weeks is enough time to know if you have it or not.. remember your partner does not always pass it on to you.. if you do have it be sure to tell your new partner.. and you should always use a condom... also herpes can also be on the skin in the genital area and it can also be transmitted that way so be very careful

I got diagnosed with herpes virus (type 2) about four yrs ago, when I was still attending college and had a silly one-night stand. I know lots of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/0Zg2z everything improved.
Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the hsv from my body in less than three weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience true love again. Now I hope that I can help others by sharing this story.

For Herpes symptoms or signs or a positive may not come up for years . But since he is positive you most likely carry the virus now even if it's not active in you, you could still give it to some else. For the rest of your life I would use protect with everyone to be safe.

You are going to get them when don't know 2 week from now or 2 years but you have them now.
I know because I have them and I got it 2 weeks after exposure. The first break out is really bad.

Yes, I would be re tested. Hopefully, you have learned a good lesson. If you are going to have sex, always use protection.
