Reader Q - How Does a Virgin Get Genital Herpes?

Posted Fri, 01/22/2010 - 12:48 by Amy Banks

Question:
My 15 yr old daughter and her boyfriend only had sex and oral sex with each other and no one else. They were both virgins. We know our daughter and her boyfriend, and are convinced this is true. She only "kissed" one boy before her boyfriend when she was 14, no sex involved at all. Her boyfriend never even kissed a girl.
We noticed she has had a fair amount of sores in her mouth since she got braces at age 13. Possibly earlier and we never noticed.

Reader Q - What Does It Mean If My Partner Has Genital HSV-1?

Question:
My girlfriend has tested positive for genital HSV-1 and I am awaiting my results right now. As far as I remember I don’t recall ever having cold sores, and neither does she so we are a bit confused as to how she could have gotten it.

If my blood test comes back that I am HSV-1 positive as well, what does this mean for me? I haven’t had any symptoms of any kind. Does this mean that I am in anyway immune to catching HSV-1 genitally, or is it still possible for my partner to transfer HSV-1 to my genitals?
