Yes it is possible to be miss diagnosed. But if they took a swab culture then that would be a more accurate way to test for herpes. There are some things that look like herpes.
Even if the sex was protected, u could still get herpes even if u use a condom. herpes takes skin to skin contact (like sex) to pass on. Plus it can only take one time to pass herpes on. If the person u had sex with had an out break or symptoms of an out break or a healing out break out side of where the condom covers then u could still end up getting herpes.
Its possible that if this person had the blood test done, and didn’t have enough anti-bodies for herpes then they could have tested negative. Or they weren’t properly tested for herpes in the first place.
Of course things can be misdiagnosed- but generally there is some reason for getting a diagnosis like herpes. Since you had a pap smear, you may also have had cultures taken for things like chlamydia and herpes. If the culture grew it out, then you have herpes, even though you may not have had a visible lesion. You can have the virus for some extended time, even years, and not have one – or ever have one for that matter. It would be impossible to ever say exactly where and when, or by who you were infected. Your ex partner could still have herpes, unless he’s had a blood test to say otherwise – and not have symptoms. Once you are infected with the virus, you have either a latent or active infection. Latent stage infections mean you don’t have any visible lesions, the virus is being supressed by the immune system- but you still can be tested and will be positive. You can also shed the virus at any time. An active infection is when there is a lesion on the skin present, actively giving off the virus. I doubt you were misdiagnosed, I just don’t know exactly how they reached the diagnosis. If you have doubts though, just go back and ask to be tested specifically for it. And in the meantime, please keep in mind that safe sex doesn’t mean you are protected against everything and at risk for nothing. All it really means is “safer” sex than nothing at all. You can still catch things you don’t want, it’s just less likely to happen. Unfortunately, it still can happen, and does. But with herpes, there is just no telling when you caught it, and no point going buggy pointing fingers.
