Q: My husband and I just divorced due to infidelity on his part. I was STD tested and came back positive for HSV2. He was tested and said all his tests were negative, how can that be?PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Given your ex-husband's infidelity with several partners and he most likely denied having them while married to you (right?), he's lying about the negative test. Or, he's too embarassed to tell you and is in denial.
I was infected by a partner several years ago, a physcian, who looked me straight in the face and told me he had no STDs. It took 1 1/2 years for him to infect me. His response: he hadn't had any outbreaks in years and didn't believe he could infect me. In reality, he was too embarassed and self centered to put my best intersts first. If your ex-husband admits he had herpes then, he is confronted with telling his current sexual partners he has herpes.
The person who infected me indicates he discloses it (at least three since me). I believe he minimizes the rate of transmission so that he can continue having sexual relations with uninfected partners without concern of being sued for medical damages.
Even on an antivral medication, there is no magic bullet. I take aclovir and it clearly states on the drug information: "This medicine is antiviral. It works by stoppping viral replication. However, this medicine does not eliminate the virus, is not a cure and does not prevent transmission to others."
