I am a 25 year old male in excellent physical health. Recently I have been having sex with a girl, no oral for me (she did perform oral), just the basic stuff. I have only had sex with her 4 times, twice protected and twice unprotected. These were spread out over about 5 weeks. After having unprotected sex with her the first time (about 3 1/2 weeks ago) we didn’t have sex for about 2 weeks. After having unprotected sex with her for the second time (about a week and a half ago) she called me two days later and said that she had a swab test and was positive for HSV2. She thought that it was me that had given it to her. She told me that about midway between the time we had unprotected sex both times (about 2 1/2 weeks ago) she had a bump and got tested. She said that it was just one and doctor told her it was probably a very mild outbreak. I immediately went to the doctor and got a blood test which gave the results of about 4 (out of 1) positive for HSV1 and .02 (out of 1) negative for HSV2. I have never had any symptoms, either cold sores or itching/burning or anything. Here are my questions:

1. My doctor told me that swab tests cannot differentiate between HSV1 and HSV2, is this correct? The information that I found online seem to suggest otherwise.

2. If she does have HSV2, what are the chances that I got it from her in the 4 times I had sex with her?

3. What are the chances that I do have HSV2 is my blood test results showed me negative as a .02 out of 1 required for a positive?

4. Is there a chance that she doesn’t have it and the swab test was inaccurate? I told her she needed to get a blood test to confirm.

5. If you generally shed the virus during an outbreak, and her one bump healed a few days before we had unprotected sex the second time, how long was she shedding?

6. If my blood test came back negative with .02 out of 1, does this amount increase over time, and if so, would that mean that I could still have it and just have a false negative?

I have been researching online extensively, but haven’t found any answers really to these questions. I was excited when I found out I was negative, and thought because she had the swab test she probably only had HSV1, but now am starting to think otherwise and am hoping that I didn’t contract it from her.

Thanks for anyone who will take the time to answer this. You don’t have to answer anything specifically if you don’t have the time, but a general response to some of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
