Anxiety of HIV.?

I've had 2-3 outbreaks of Genital HSV-1 in the last 3-4 months, I keep reading up on symptoms of HIV, and see that outbreaks of herpes is one. I'm married and have been for 5 years, neither of us have ever been with one another. So for one how did I get the Genital HSV-1? When he doesn't have it and two why do I keep worring about HIV? We have a 18 mo daughter who is happy and healthy, and I think I was screened for HIV when I was pregnant. What can I do? Are there more symptoms to this? Do I really have HSV-1 Genitally?

Well I am pregnant and I can tell you that you prob were testes for HIV during your pregnancy... I know I was tested for every STD and seems just about any other disease when I was pregnant. (so that would include herpes/warts/etc as well!)

As far as HSV-1... sex is the only way to get this...(sitting on toliet seats etc will not infect you) if your husband really has been faithful...(and you have) then you should not worry the bumps down there can be other things. If your husband has not been faithful he may just not have had an out break yet. HIV has many many symptoms and even if you had HSV-1... that does not mean you have HIV... I would go to the doctor the best of luck to you!

The appearance of herpes is not related to a person being HIV+ (although with a severely weak immune system -- late stage HIV disease-- a person can be prone to more outbreaks)

Genital HSV-1 infection you most likely received from someone (who had HSV-1 on the mouth) who subsequently performed oral sex on you.

Genital HSV-1 disease is actually fairly common. Though, most people with the disease only have at most 1 or 2 outbreaks, and then experience no other outbreaks. HSV-1 in the genital area is outside of the virus' comfort zone and is therefore less productive in causing disease, less likely to result in viral shedding (less infectious).

A significant percentage of children acquire HSV-1 on the mouth from adults in non-sexual modes of transmission (like Aunt Bertha who loves to squeeze your cheeks and give you a kiss).

So, it is possible, to be with someone who has not had any other sexual contacts and they can still transmit herpes (HSV-1).
