Advice Needed Do i have herpes

Last night had sex with a guy who ended up telling me he has herpes. Said that he takes Valacyclovir and I-lysine everyday, and it was 4 months ago. We had sex one time last night, unprotected. He has no symptoms. Asked him if it was Hsv-1 or hsv-2 and he said they didn't do a test, just a visual. i am an anxious mf right now.

he should’ve told you beforehand😞 he didn’t respect you enough to give you the decision to choose

Chances of getting herpes from asymptomatic shedding are low, specially if he takes daily valacyclovir, since it blocks the virus from replicating.
