I agree with your doctor-- he's lying; or possibly, has been infected within the last six weeks and it is not showing up yet.. Over five years ago I was involved in a relationship with a physician. Two years before that he absolutely assured me that he didn't have any STDs. My ex-boyfriend had herpes and gave it to me. My ex-boyfriend then tried to convince that I had it unknowingly. I insisted on having the blood test before the six weeks were up with me and it came back negative. He then told me he thought he couldn't give it to me because he hadn't had anyoutbreaks in years. In reality, he was either too embarrassed to tell me or didn't care. He has had several partners since without any regard to their well being.

In one of the recent questions on this website, a woman wrote saying her ex-husband had several affairs during the marriage (she had none) claimed he tested negative after he gave it to her. That's when she realized he was having sex outside of the marriage.

Not informing a partner that he had herpes prior to having sex is not consensual sex isand therefore, a predator. If the person you met is dishonest, he may find it difficult to produce a negative blood test. By the way, his medical tests can be subpenaed as well as his insurance records indicating what tests were paid for and if taking antiviral meds.

Check out this website: http://www.oshmanlaw.com/personal_injury/sexually-transmitted-diseases-std.html. Courts have ruled in favor of the injured party indicating that an infected person is responsible for educating themselves about herpes and informing their partners about herpes. Personally, I do not feel disclosure alone is enough. Too many infected persons believe using a condom or taking antiviral drugs will prevent transmitting herpes convincing these ignorant uninfected partners they manage their herpes and pose no risks. After they infect them, they plead ignorant.

I am really sorry that you have to deal with life long issues caused by herpes and herpes is expensive to treat. You may wish to scroll down this site and read about other persons experience.
