This is a follow up to a previous question that I asked. In short during June and July I had protected and unprotected sex on and off with a woman. There were probably 6 days that we didn't use protection. At the end of June I tested for everything including HSV1 & HSV2, both negative. The last time we had unprotected sex was 19 days ago. The following week she let me know she had tested positive at her OBGYN via IGG blood test for HSV1 and HSV2. Index on HSV2 was 11.90. She knew of the HSV1 as she had previously experienced cold sores in her nose, but not in the past two years. She had never had an outbreak of genital herpes to her knowledge. Her Dr's opinion was that it's highly unlikely she passed it to me. We have ceased having intercourse. I did not experience any symptoms of herpes after initial exposures in June and since last exposure I have not had any signs of an outbreak (I check frequently). I occasionally will see some red areas that go away within a few hours or so, I'd say this is probably due to constant checking. I plan on seeing a General Practitioner for their opinion and doing blood tests with a final one at 12 weeks exposure. That being said given that I was negative before all of this for both HSV1 and HSV2 can I reasonably expect I didn't contract HSV2 with no signs of an outbreak/symptoms at this point? Would someone that is negative to HSV1 be more prone to an HSV2 outbreak after initial infection?

Thank you for the information. Given that I’ve been HSV1 negative would there be any value in acquiring an IgM test? I feel like infection is unlikely but it stresses me out that I won’t know anything for sure until 12 weeks with an IGG test. 

Not to be redundant but I did take an IgG blood test yesterday which came back negative. This was about 3 weeks after unprotected sex and 10 weeks since the second to last time we had unprotected sex. I still have had no symptoms.  I know the recommended timeline of 12 weeks but with no symptoms, being previously negative for HSV1 what’s the likelihood of testing positive down the road? Would 6 weeks post exposure provide a near conclusive result?

One last question. You had mentioned previously my odds were low that I contracted herpes. All things considered should I be confident I didn’t contract?
