Hi, I've been newly diagnosed with herpes 2 by my doctor after an examination. However, I have only ever been with my current boyfriend. We have been having unprotected sex for about a month however, before we started having sex he got tested because I wanted him to and his had several other partners. His results were negative for everything so I don't know how this is possible. Could my doctor be wrong or could he have gotten a false negative? We are really unsure what to do and are only 16 and 17... any advice ?
Did you have an outbreak? Was the outbreak confirmed by swab or any other test, and if so, which and what exactly were your results? Was your bf even tested for HSV2? It's not a routine test and often needs to be specifically requested. At 16/17, however, it's less likely that it's gHSV2 (gHSV1 more common amongst young folk). I would question your diagnosis unless it tested positive by swab.
