Hi Ms. Terri My question in the last forum(#6284) was not answered. But to answer your question first, yes I could go get retested for HSV 1 and 2 but I dont think I will get an accurate result because I have been taking Valacyclovir for about a month and some days now. But the question I was asking you was since I was told I had both HSV 1 and 2 I just want to know if I gave my partner oral sex and he gave me oral sex will he contract the virus on his genitals(if I gave him oral) and on/in his mouth(if he gave me oral)?

Yes ma'am... I will check into getting the IGg test done but even if im taking the antiviral Vacyclovir is there still a chance of him contracting it both ways?

There is still a chance, but it is about half of what it would be if you weren't taking antiviral medicine. Yes, please - get the test and let's make sure of your diagnosis.

Yes, that would be true IF this was a new infection, but what you reported was a test done years ago. The antiviral medicine will not interfere with an antibody test done on someone diagnosed years ago, only with a brand new infection.
