Possible hsv 2 exposure

Just a few points based on my knowledge:1) Just because you were exposed doesn’t mean you became infected. The person would have had to have active sores or actively shedding the virus for you to become infected.2) Although it is possible for the virus to lay dormant, in the majority of cases, people who become infected will develop sores right away.3) You could certainly do blood work to determine whether or not you had exposure, and the test will take about a week for the results. Depending how far along you are, you may or may not have the results in time?4) if you were exposed before becoming pregnant, there would be antibodies present, and therefore less of a risk for vertical transmission to baby.5) Most women who knowingly have herpes genitally will begin suppression therapy at 36 weeks (unless they take it more regularly due to frequent outbreaks), as antivirals help to reduce shedding up to 50%. If you did in fact test, and had had exposure you could ask to begin antivirals out of precaution.6) The biggest risk for vertical transmission (and it is still pretty low percentage wise - just very very serious if a baby were to become infected) is when a mother has become newly infected in the third trimester (because little to no antibodies would be present yet), has active sores or is still shedding virus, and has a vaginal delivery.
