Which is it please?
Was I lucky for 5 years & was intimate hundreds of times with an HSV2 positive person w/o symptoms? Or was it a much more recent infection on their part? We were IgG tested just shy of the 5 year mark. I was negative. My partner was not. A month later test & we were both positive.
Our dr said the reason I was negative was the virus does spread from a person who isn’t showing symptoms. I read now that it does spread w/o symptoms. For my life going forward, which is it? So I don’t spread it more

Hi,
Both of you, take appropriate antiviral medication per the doctor's prescription. Whenever / if symptoms appear for either of you, start using a condom till the last traces of the symptoms disappear. It may take several months to years for the infection to clear. but it is not life-threatening, nor disabling. Using antivirals and putting on condom when you suspect symptoms, are the only ways to prevent further spread.
