No not in the ways you mention. If you have genital symptoms which you suspect may be herpes see a urologist when you have the symptoms. Somehow I doubt that you have it if the tests were neg.

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. From what you described, you do not have herpes. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Hi Docs, I'm 40, female, 1st genital HSV1 ob in 2006, maybe 2nd ob in 2012. No further ob & haven't infected anyone to my knowledge including a 6 years male partner w/ unprotected sex. HSV2 igg negative. What the % of my risk infecting others now?
I had an IGG serology test that came back positive for HSV1 & negative for HSV2.How can I find out if its oral or genital?I've never had an outbreak.
I done the igg test for herpes 1 and 2 which I knew would probably be positive for hsv1 because I've had a cold sore before.For hsv2 it said .91 does that mean I have hsv2?
I gave my partner genital herpes through oral sex (HSV1) with no symptoms but had an outbreak a few weeks beforehand. She then passed it on to me through sex as she was unaware. Does this mean I have HSV2 and 1 now?
