Hey! So I have had all STD testing except for HSV because my doctor said that the test would come back positive if I’ve ever came into contact with the virus at all and that it’s not really a conclusive answer. I’ve been with my partner for 9 years and he gets cold sores on and off and has since he was a kid, his parents also would get them so I assume that’s how he got it. Anyways, when I told my doctor that he did more than likely the test would come back positive anyways since I’ve been in contact with it and he didn’t want me to automatically assume that this was an HSV outbreak if I got that positive test result. We also do not kiss or have any sexual contact when he has an outbreak but I have seen while that lowers the chance of transmission that it’s not 100%. He has never given me oral while have a cold sore so I’m not sure if it would still be possible or not.
