Sigh
I had what now is confirmed to be my first HSV2 breakout this past week. Immediately saw a doctor and got blood tests and a swab. Blood tests were negative, swab was positive. Just found out this morning and can’t stop thinking about it. It’s intense.
I’m trying to figure out the timing of all this, to see who might’ve had it and didn’t disclose to me, or flat out didn’t know. I’m non-monogamous, but have a fairly close circle of partners, so there will be a good bit of tough convos in the coming day or two.
I’m just so sad and disappointed, mainly because a lot is about to change it seems, and things were so good.
So I guess my question is, from your experiences, what’s been the typical amount of time that’s gone by between first exposure and first breakout? Google says 2-20 days, but also has a huge grey area of “could be dormant for years before the first outbreak” so I thought I’d just ask.
