A member asked:

I recently got tested for stds. everything was negative, except for antibodies present for hsv-1. never had cold sores that i can remember. just one scare down below ( one bump) that might have been a yeast infection. do i disclose this to partners?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More than half of adults have HSV 1 and the most common manifestation is cold sores around the mouth. If you do not have genital herpes, it would not be unethical to not disclose. You may wish to consult with the doctor who performed the tests. Visit this site for an informative article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27582307/
