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!
