Jester82	It could of been anything. Did you wash your hands before u M@$terb@ted? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lady B	I believe the herpes virus that causes cold sores is the same one that causes genital herpes. Seems likely you got it from the child with the cold sore that you touched and then forgot to wash your hands. Be careful not to touch your eyes before you've washed your hands after going to the bathroom or dealing with the child at daycare. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

persuader	if it was from the kid id have the parents investigated. The "outbreak" would have shown up orally first, hand to mouth contact. But it's unlikely. Did you see his paperwork? The only way to get the virus is direct contact with the virus. There was a rumor years ago about getting it from toilet seats, not likely. Not all facilities test for warts and herpes.

Tom B	Herpes is spread by direct skin to skin contact. Unlike a flu virus that you can get through the air, herpes spreads by direct contact, that is, directly from the site of infection to the site of contact. For example, if you have a cold sore and kiss someone, you can transfer the virus to their mouth. Similarly, if you have active genital herpes and have vaginal or anal intercourse, you can give your partner genital herpes. Finally, if you have a cold sore and put your mouth on your partners genitals (oral sex), you can give your partner genital herpes Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

I <3 JACOB BLACK	Yes that definitely could have happened, although your partner may have recently had an outbreak that you didn't know about. I would suggest talking to your doctor about it. Best of Luck :-) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

charitydavison	You probably got it from your partner who has signs of it through having sex. It is good that you got yourself check. But you are to ask and find the person you came in contact that had signs and ask them to get their self checked so they won't infect nobody else. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Robert F	I believe they are different , as in hep A vs.hep C She should be tested again. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sidrey Doringcorth	if you had an unprotected sex. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

~Sara~	IF I remember correctly the only way to contact genital herpes is to be infected with the area. If you have open sores or cuts you can be affected. Do you drink? Perhaps there was a night of fun that you have forgotten. This sounds really strange! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kirk1500	Herpes1 or herpes 2? You probably had a swab taken that came back positive. If your blood test is negative then you just got it because your body hasn't developed antibodies yet. Herpes 1 is usually found around or in the mouth although you can get it in the genital area, but that is uncommon. You can get herpes 1 by sharing a glass or fork with someone or kissing someone that has it. I suppose you could have contracted it the way you mentioned but it seems unlikely. Herpes 2 is usually in the genital area. It usually requires skin to skin contact. Are you sure your man is negative? How much do you trust him? Is he telling you the truth? If he just got it then he could have given it to you and still not tested positive because he has not developed antibodies yet. If you think about it herpes is really nothing more than an annoying skin condition. Checkout these web sites: http://www.herpesclinic.com/ http://www.herpes.org/ Was this answer helpful to you?

da bomb	Did you actually see the blood test results for your partner yourself, or is that what he told you? The doctor would not have been able to give you his information directly because of privacy policies...so I am guessing that he told you? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ruby k	There are 3 kinds of herpies. I just found out that i have have 2 of them today! The coldsore one layes dormant in your system for ever then you get an outbreak every now and then triggered by then from stress to chocolate to the sun. Then there is another one that I can't remeber the name of. but that one is often confused with shingles. and those are they two I have neither of which are extremly contagious. Unless you lick eat and swallow the coldsore it self. But those are compleatly different strains of the virus all together and cold sore boy at your work could not have given you genital herpies. Public bathroom? or your not telling us something. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

leenakwon2002	Yipes...get your bf tested again, his herpes may have been dormant or maybe he's screwing around. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nufoundcorey	those are two different types of herpes. cold sores and genital herpes. someone had to of cheated Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LiarLiarPantiesOnFire	Did you in fact see your partner's blood test results? This sounds suspicious to me. I'm sorry. I would look at my significant other more closely, instead of a child with cold sores as being the culprit. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

brooklynsfinest731	yes u should find him and beat him Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jadejadeforeternity	I found this info on this website. I think you could have gotten it from the kid. "One kind of complication involves spreading the virus from the location of an outbreak to other places on the body by touching the sore(s). The fingers, eyes, and other body areas can accidentally become infected in this way. Preventing self-infection is simple. Do not touch the area during an outbreak. If you do, wash your hands as soon as possible. The herpes virus is easily killed with soap and water." Take lots of vitamins, Valtrex and exercise. You can put it in remission-God bless. Also, do ask to physically see that test. He could just be lying! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
