I am a 29yo who was a victim of unconsented sexual encounter while on travel. I came back about a month ago and tested immediately for STIs. All came back negative. I thought I was ok, until I had vaginal pain and painful urination. I self examined and saw redness and some elongated lesions. I went to a clinic and to see an obgyn. The OB said that it didn't look like herpes. At the clinic, the PA seemed unsure but did a swab. About 5 days later, it came back indicating HSV1. Would it be worth it to do IGG testing or is the culture a true test and because it is HSV1, what is the transmission to a partner and what do I need to disclose in this case? With Valtrex my symptoms disappeared in 2 days, but I am unsure about the above. Thanks!
