Messed up thinking?
So I have never had a cold sore and last week I got one. I have only been with my husband, except kissing one other man in college, otherwise my husband is the only man I've been with sexually.
I am currently pregnant in my third trimester, and it's been extremely hard, medically speaking, that sex was off the table for months... until last Monday when I felt I was able to. Well after that, I developed a cold sore a few days after. We have been together for almost 14 years, and have multiple kids. I don't share drinks or food with anyone and neither do my kids( homeschooled, so yes I know) We have never cheated on one another, we have discussed this many times out of respect we wilting do a clean break. But now I can't help but wonder. He doesn't know I'll be getting retested.
Is it messed up that I requested my dr office to put in an order to get blood work done for STDs?

The virus can come from anyone. A parent, family member or friend you've been in close contact with ? It can also lay dormant in the body for years !
Cold sores are not connected to stds in any way, you can just get one from having a virus…. That’s literally your body sending a signal that you are coming down with something.
You can get catch cold sores very easily, from sharing cutlery for example. But I don't think it's messed up getting STI checked! A cold sore is the herpes virus after all and if I were pregnant with a cold sore, I would want to be extra sure too.
But I agree that it definitely doesn't mean your partner cheated.
