  1. Hi! Thanks for your answer 🙂 Just checked and it looks like I took an IgG test. Shoot, now I'm nervous I have HSV-2. The test was about a week and a half after sores started showing up. To clarify though, I don't often get cold sores. I maybe have once or twice ever and it's been 3 years since my last one. I have not taken any antivirals. Doctor said no need for any medication as of now. As far as symptoms with the genital sores, little bit of itchiness but no pain. There's actually little scabs that are still healing. I also had a similar problem back in May of last year when I hadn't been sexually active in a long while, but I assumed it was irritation that was caused by shaving. IDK! Just overthinking lol Very kind of you to take the time to address everyone's concerns. Thanks so much!
  2. Hi everyone, Last month, I noticed some sores appearing on my genitals. I got them checked out at the doctor, and she examined them for 30 seconds and told me it's most likely herpes. Then I ended up testing postive for Herpes 1 with the blood test. I did some research and know that once you get herpes the virus stays with you forever. I also know Hsv1 is most commonly oral herpes and causes cold sores (though genital hsv1 is getting increasingly more common). I've had a cold sore before. If I've had herpes 1 this whole time since (at least) having a cold sore, how do I know for sure that these genital sores are also herpes? Is it common to get oral herpes and also genital herpes? Also thank you everyone for contributing your thoughts and support on this forum. It's been a stressful month to say the least since finding out my positive result, and reading through the posts here have given me a little bit of clarity.
