If it's type 2, have no idea how you got this if he didn't have his genitals in contact with your genitals. I can only guess that you have had it for a long time, but it's just made its presence known.

I'm still not clear whether your culture was actually typed as type 2. You said that there was no contact between his genital area and yours, but did he perform oral sex on you? About 1/3 of genital herpes cases are actually the type 1 virus transmitted via oral sex being performed on the newly infected person.

Yes, you need to discuss this with your partner, of course. Let me know if I can help further.
