Just don't assume you have Type 2 just bec you had an ob on your genitals. I had an ob down below and test results are Type 1 which I more than likely caught from my recent and current boyfriend from him giving me oral sex. I know this is probably recent b/c my bloodwork came back negative but the swab was positive and was my first ob. Never even had a cold sore. When I told him and gave him the stats on how many people have Type 1 and don't know he understood. He has never had an ob but does remember having a cold sore in high school. So, if he had a cold sore, then he more than likely has Type 1 and doesn't see the need to get tested. I did reassure him that he can't get something he already has. We haven't had any problems, aren't sleeping with anyone else, have sex, oral sex, don't use a condom but I am on Acyclovir and have had just the one ob. If I were to have another ob then obviously we would not have sex. I'd tell him to get tested. But if he is acting this way, is he really worth it? And, if you were just recently tested and your bloodwork came back positive, maybe you've had this a while but haven't had an outbreak. I read several posts that people have had herpes for years but never had an ob until later on.
