I dated a guy who himself tested negative for HSV1 and HSV2 (Igg serology) just before we started dating in October 2018. We were in a monogamous relationship from Nov 2018 to March 2019. He informed me at the beginning of April that he had just tested positive for HSV2 via IGG serology. He has since had a second IGG test to confirm positive result. I immediately went out and had the IgG test done and was negative for both HSV1 and 2. But I’m still living in complete terror. I know it can take months for seroconversion so technically if he was asymptomatically shedding towards the end of our relationship then I could still have HSV2 and just be testing negative because my body hasn’t had long enough to build up antibodies. I also have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and find myself researching HSV2 non stop. I’m depressed. I feel like I’m in limbo- do I have it? Do I not? Dare I try to date anyone? If I do date someone then what do I tell them? “Hey I may or may not have been exposed to HSV2 but my first test was negative but I can’t test again for another few months.” Because of my OCD I find myself compulsively checking for lesions all the time. Now I understand why the CDC recommends not testing for HSV unless the patient is symptomatic- this not knowing if I have an STD is causing me severe anxiety. Please help- I don’t know what to do.
