I know that we are all human and people make mistakes. I contracted HSV (never had a blood test, just swab of a lesion) from an ex. At the time, he swore he didn’t know he had it and claimed that he may have had it for quite some time and never known. He still didn’t get tested because he “assumed” it was him all along (my way of knowing he knew he had it). We broke up some time afterwards and I’m having to deal with life having this. I’ve never had sore inside or near my vaginal area—just inside my inner thigh. I’ve saw pictures and I’ve never had breakouts to that magnitude. Occasionally I experience discomfort and develop “lesions” on my inner thigh—a couple of times out of the year—in the same spot. Is it possible that I do not have it? Could it be something else? Has anyone chose not to disclose and their partner still doesn’t know (I know it’s not the right thing to do)? I just want to see what others are experiencing. I recently started dating someone and we unexpectedly had intercourse—I didn’t disclose and he didn’t ask. Just the heat of the moment. I wasn’t experiencing any problems and had no signs of shedding. I only take the meds when I have an “outbreak” and it isn’t daily (more so, a couple of times a year). I do plan to take them on a daily basis now and I am just now really educating myself about the virus. If I were to get a blood test—would it show if it’s still dormant?
