Q: very curious need to know!

hi,

i was recently diagnosed with gh as of june 23, 2009 i am currently dating someone who ive been with for 7 months he gets type 1 but has never had a fever blister while we have been together....is it possible that i contracted type 2 from him giving me oral sex even though he never had a visible fever blister?....also we have been having unprotected sex and he had a blood test done the day after i found out i was possitive and he doesnt have it....i never cheated on him maybe he could be a carrier? i am just very upset and find it hard to believe that it could be from the ex whom i dated for 4 years i never had an outbreak until now 9 months after i broke up with the ex! i am quite depressed and cry everyday wondering if my bf will be able to stay with me or if he cant handle this....we need info and my doctors nurse called and told me so i would have to schedule an appointment just to talk to the doctor.....thanks

hi, to be perfectly honest, it scares me how similar our stories are. i was diagnosed june 14th of this year. just be very careful with how you approach the situation when telling your boyfriend and have him get tested. always practice safe sex from now on and, if all goes well, he will handle it fine. at the very least, you have eachother to work it out. luckily for me, my boyfriend was of course upest but is able to look past it and still love me for me. the worst thing to do is hide it and going to a doctor is definitely your best idea. good luck with everything
