I have recently tested positive for HSV-2, and I have a few questions about my situation. I had intercourse with two different partners in the past few months, and I had an outbreak shortly after the last encounter. My HSV-2 test came back positive with a high index level (13.6 and then 90). I am curious about the possibility of testing positive so quickly (6.5 days after the last encounter) and whether this could be due to a strong immune response. Additionally, I am concerned about the potential transmission to my partners and the implications of my high index levels.

My last period was on 09/19, I found out I was pregnant on 10/13 via a urine test then same day I did a blood test that came up positive with a count of 62 hcg. My cycle is regular and is usually 29-30 days. I had a protected intercourse on 10/11 with someone other than my boyfriend. Is there even a tiny chance that I could be pregnant from that intercourse on 10/11, and do I need to get a prenatal paternity test?
