People with genital herpes infection, especially, when there is an outbreak, are at greater chances to get infected with HIV when engaging in sexual intercourse with possible HIV positive partner.
HIV can be transmitted when body fluids containing the virus come into contact with herpes sore.
Also, both of the viruses can worsen the effects of the other.
If person with active genital herpes infection is infected with HIV, the HIV will reproduce itself easier and more rapidly.
HIV infected patients as a result of lower immune functions, will have more frequent and severe outbreaks of genital herpes.

So you gave your fiancee hsv-2? Did you happen to tell her about it ahead of time?

No one can know for sure so go get testing, and stop having sex with anyone outside of these 2 women... Just sounds like a good idea for you.

the question you asked is do you have hiv.
the only way you can find out is if you get tested by your doctor. you can go to a free clinic, and they have test that tells you the results in 15 minutes.
if a person has hsv 2, the best way in keeping yourself from getting it is using condoms.

i used condoms for 4 1/2 years with my live in (now ex b/f. so it can be done.
in your situation you shouldve always had condoms on you, or around you.
are you 100% sure you contracted hsv2 from your ex?
have you had any sores on your genital area?
