If you have had it for a while and know your type, then there is no real need to swab, unless you have persistent or strange symptoms not typical of herpes that you want to check out.
Yes that helped
Since I just found out I had it last week & I had sex with this guy in August do that mean I gave him herpes because I was not on any medication
Meaning when not on the medicine does the 4% apply
First of all, you may not have herpes. Depends on the type of test done and how you scored. If your positive is based on the IgM test, for example, I would not count that. Secondly, herpes doesn't pass with each and every sexual encounter, so even if you have it, your partner in August may mot have caught anything.

Hello im sorry this happened too u.
I want to let u know i did this too when i found out . i almost got locked up in a nut house bc i lost it .. I went crazy.. I hated it . i was so ashamed. .i felt so dirty.. I dont even wanna have sex now and its been just a little over a year. . it does pass some of it .. I still feel bad when i break out . i cry still. I hide still. I feel like everyone can tell just by looking at me our mind and the h plays tricks on us .. It gets better.
Thank you & I am sorry it happened to you to but everything you said is exactly how I feel. I have a appt to start talking to a therapist because this as of right now I can not handle alone. I don't want to go outside at all. The thing I think i fear the most is telling a future partner. I still haven't told nobody.
Im with the person who got me sick . we went to a new doctor today what a joke .he put me on valtrax again and a med that makes me super sick.i feel it was a waste of time for both of us ..
Get better i refuse to see someone for it talking wise i can't even say herpes .. It just kills me inside each time im force to think about it.
I did get conformation thru my blood work & yes it is positive for hsv2 . So where do I go from here?
But atleast my stressing about it went down. It really don't cross my mind because I don't plan on being in a relationship no time soon or if ever again.
Thank you all for your comments it really helped me out with feeling alone since I don't have a partner.
So sorry this happened to you
My partner of 4 yrs has just told me hes has herpes !!! We split over a yr age for 5 months and in that time he had a 1 night stand and caught it
Weve been bk together a yr now and he only told me lst week, he said he was too ashamed ans embarassed to tell me !!
Im in utter shock at the mo cos 1 hes lied and kept this from me 2 he took my right away frm me as weve been having unprotected sex the whole time
Ive never had any symptoms as in blisters spots or a rash and because i havent i was told at my clinic that they couldnt tell me if ive been infected or not
Im goin to a private clinc for a blood test on monday because i cant cope with the not knowing
I totaly get where ur coming from as i cant eat sleep and feel totaly depressed right now i feel like im in limbo and havent told anyone cos i feel dirty ashamed and embarrassed to have possibly caught something that i could o have a choice in
My heart goes out to you 😘
thank you!! & I hopeing for good results when you go to the doctor because nobody deserves this even tho it could be worse (well that's what I keep telling myself) to ease my mind but in reality it really really sucks.
I would have never knew if I did not tell the doctor to test me for everything including hiv (which was negative) & to think I had to end my relationship because I was afraid to tell the new guy I was seeing
My depression comes & goes, luckily i started back eating before I lost to much weight.
I think just being able to come up here & talk to atleast 1 person makes me feel a lot better. Because I can find myself telling nobody.
Keep me posted but I know it's going to come out in your favor 😘
