Diagnosed With HSV2 Due To Husband's Unfaithfulness, Have Severe Stress, Breakout Of Sores. Could This Be Contagious?
I have been recently diagnosed through blood tests IGG with results of 5.3 for hsv2. Had no idea that I did until the question of unfaithfulness in my marriage by my husband. This has caused stress like I ve never experienced before. Have also never had sores to break out. I just remember experiencing irration before menses .. I have had a prickly sensation now for about 4 weeks. Does this mean I am contagious at this point & having a breakout.
