Is it possible? Yes, just more unlikely with condoms and while on medicine to prevent transmission.

They did the blood test and it came up as HSV1. Every time I ask for the culture test they tell me they don’t swab.
I plan on getting re-tested this week just Incase I got a false positive. I just came to realize I never did a urine sample to check if it’s just a normal bacterial infection.
It’s definitely not one outbreak. It’s healed on its own before. I didn’t start taking valtrex till only a month ago.
its a little weird because when I didn’t take it before I would break out in a matter of a day when I felt symptoms and the pain would go as soon as I have an ob. But now that I take medicine I don’t really break out at all but the pain is almost always there.
It all happened when I moved house to a different state. I’ve had skin conditions before. I suffer from dry skin. I had a huge skin condition before my first outbreak. My whole chest was red and extremely sensitive after I slept at a hotel. Once the rednes went the first outbreak happened.
I will post my future results when I get them.

I’ve had HSV1 probably for a few years now but I got my first outbreak 10 months in my genital area. Since then it’s got worse and worse.
I’m at the point where there’s a constant pain down below. I’m taking valtrex now for the last month, daily. It’s helped with the outbreak but I still have constant pain in my penis. I used to get 3 to 4 outbreaks a month for 10 months. I don’t know how HSV1 can cause so many outbreaks. I thought that’s what HSV2 did?
Part of me wonders if it’s even HSV1. I had red marks around my groin area that appeard around the same time as my first outbreak. Not sure if that was related.
I don’t really care that I have HSV1... heck 90% of people on this planet have it. Most people don’t know because a lot of people will never know they had it because they get no symptoms. I just want to know for sure what it is. Having 4 outbreaks a month is not normal.
So to my questions:
• is it normal to have HSV1 outbreak 3 to 4 times a month.
• should I still feel pain on my penis even with taking valtrax but no visibal symptoms.
• is anyone else getting so many outbreaks with HSV1?
I’m going to go back to the doctor and get retested. I haven’t even given a urine sample so I wonder if it’s some bacterial infection. Can anyone else think if it could be something else?
False positive HSV2 with high off?

I got tested 6 months ago and was positive for HSV1 and negative for HSV2. I got tested again 10 months later and this time round the igg test came up positive for both. I’ve been married now for 3 years and there’s really no way my wife has cheated on me. Question is how likely is it to have a false positive when your igg result is 8? I plan on getting tested in a different lab with the same test here in a couple of weeks.
i know false positives are possible but do your igg levels still need to be low for that to be possible?
