Im afraid I have labial herpes

[Who Dares Win]

Never had it in my life nor had any sign of it in my lips, but I think I may be a carries.

I met a girl at the club and banged her in january and the following week she had it and blamed me saying that she didnt kiss anybody in the previous month, I didnt paid attention to that and just banged her without kissing just to be sure.

Then 2 weeks ago I made out with a girl from the cafeteria and she told me she now has herpes on her lips and asked me if I had it cause she never had it before making out with me....we met and saw it with my own eyes but again I never had it nor I have it now.

Just wondering if I may be a carrier altought being immune to it or those two girls simply coincidentally got it after staying with me.

Also how long do I have to wait in case I wanna make out again with the girl who is having it now?

There is a blood test for the HSV-1 antibodies, if that helps.

60-70% of adults are seropositive (have the antibody) by the time they are in their late thirties. This is published data.

Asymptomatic viral shedding is uncommon for HSV-1, but it does happen. I'm sure you have it. It may be a good idea to disclose this to new partners, although telling every potential makeout you have a form of herpes may be a bit of overkill, not to mention a destroyer to your dating life. People assume risks when they kiss or have sex. I would tell any girl you sleep with however, that you could transmit it oral-genital. Your call. I also have HSV-1 and have done it both ways (disclosure and nondisclosure), but I dont feel too good about the latter.

Antivirals can help suppress viral replication and shedding, but they need to be taken daily and are not cheap.

It's always better to consult a doctor to be sure about that. But by the incidents you have mentioned it definitely looks positive that you have it.
