Nouveau diagnostic de HSV2. Mon petit ami a le HSV1??

So my doctor is 90% sure I have genital herpes. I had a swab done the 1st day of my outbreak, but the doctor did it incorrectly. SO my family doctor 4 days later (today) couldn't get a swab because I was mostly healed, but with all my symptoms and what she saw, she's extremely positive it's genital herpes.

so here comes the confusing part. It's an outbreak because of a recent exposure, which I definitely got from my boyfriend. He has a history of cold sores but hasn't had one in 2 years. So we figured he has Oral HSV1. I have genital herpes however... So that's usually HSV2. Can anyone explain how I possibly got Genital HSV 1? Is that even possible to have that on my genitals? Everything on Google is saying that's extremely uncommon. We are extremely confused.

I also had a UTI the same week as the outbreak. We had sex without a condom for the 1st time a week before the outbreak so we think that's when I contracted it but that doesn't make sense because he doesn't think he has genital herpes because he's never had an outbreak. Just cold sores. He's gone down on me since we started dating 4 months ago multiple times.

None of his previous partners ever had herpes or outbreaks. And they were extremely long relationships.

So why me and how?

Yes, genital hsv1 is now quite common (I have it too). The virus can shed even when there are no physical symptoms, so it is very possible that his hsv1 was active without a physical coldsore.

Luckily, because hsv1 prefers to live on the mouth, this tends to mean fewer and less severe outbreaks!

En ajoutant à ce que bethan a dit, vous pouvez contracter le VHS-1 par rapport oral avec un partenaire qui libère le VHS-1 par voie orale. De plus, un prélèvement PCR lors de la guérison des lésions devrait toujours le détecter.

Thank you for your answer!

So you were diagnosed as type 1? And only have it as genital type 1?

Everything we googled said it was extremely uncommon! How did you contract the type 1 if you don't mind me asking?

Je ne sais pas ce que vous regardiez, mais ce n’est pas rare du tout. La plupart des nouvelles infections signalées sur ce forum sont du gHSV1, et il est en augmentation générale.

I got it from receiving oral sex from a guy with a coldsore! Yes, only genital hsv1! I tested negative for hsv2 and I don't have anything orally!
