I have tested Negative for HSV1 and positive for HSV2 . Does that mean that I can pass the virus only thru the genital areas or can I also transmit the virus orally to my partner?

I was diagnosed with herpes (via oral sex) in 1982. I had a breakout or two in 1986 and 1987, but nothing since that time. Is it really necessary for me to divulge this information to a future partner?

Research shows millions are most likely infected and don’t even know it.

I'm in a new relationship, no sex as of yet, and was diagnosed less than a week ago with genital herpes. I am devastated, never had any idea, no outbreaks or symptoms, and am now afraid that I will infect a man that I feel will be the absolute love of my life. I can already feelmyself pulling away from him because of that fear. Any helpful suggestions?

Syphilis or Herpes

Hello, I got tested and all came back negative except HSV. It appears Syphillis and herpes almost look identical. How do I know that the blood test didn’t pick up on syphilis and just herpes? When i take my medicine the hsv goes away so that makes me think it is just herpes.

Are there more than one "strand" or type of Herpes 2? Asked another way, can a person have Herpes 2 on the genitals and have intercourse with another person who also has it but it is a more active Herpes 2 virus, resulting in breakouts from the second person being slightly different and worse than the what was felt before the meeting the "second' person?

I have HSV2(G). Can I pass it to someone who is HSV1(G) ?

There seems to be no easy answer to this one. Although it seems clear that HSV1 can be passed from the mouth to genitals, my partner acquired HSV1(G) this way, however does not have HSV1 on her lips. In my case I got HSV1(O) in 1996, and I understand developed antibodies to HSV1 so it could not transmit to other parts of my body. I acquired HSV2 (G) in 2001, with very mild symptoms and it was confirmed with a swab test. My understanding is that even if I did not have the swab test, I could be fairly certain that that I got HSV2 in 2001 because I already had antibodies to the other type. My question is that if my partner knows she has HSV1 on her genitals, is it also possible to pass on HSV2 to her on the genitals as well? Can you have both types, 1 and 2 on your genitals or mouth?
