I did the blood tests and the only thing that cam back positive was for HSV 1 and we did the blood test for HSV 2 so the only thing it could be would be HSV 1 genital... right?

So my tests have come back and I only have HSV 1 and according to my doctor it is only oral. Well my job this summer has me working outside and in the heat and if your in the Midwest of the US you know how hot it is this year, anyway once my fever blister on my mouth was almost healed I had spent a whole day from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. and it caused me to get heat rash or so I thought and then I got to thinking it was HSV 1 genital. I went back to the doctor and asked and so he inspected me and said he is 99% sure that it is not genital herpes. I was relieved, but still skeptical .. I never had an open sore and it didn't hurt to touch, but itched like no ones business .... and the medicine I take for HSV 1 acyclovir didnt help it at all. Any thoughts? Should I trust my doctor?

I was reading some post and most people talk about what they will take to help prevent outbreaks besides prescribed medication. The prescription I was given is Acyclovir, but was wondering what other things everyone uses. Like a vitamin supplement? diet? what to avoid?

This is where I have an internal battle and that is cold sores are herpes am I wrong? So really isnt herpes just a (pardon my french) a fucking annoying skin irritation? I keep telling myself it's a skin condition not the end of the world, you are still you and everything about you is the same. Also does anyone do suppressive therapy? What drugs are you using? Also can I pass my cold sore to anywhere on my body from touching it then touching somewhere else on my body? (that sounded dirty and did not mean it to, lol)

I was just tested for herpes and was basically told I have HSV 1 . From what i read it is actually really really common. however, I feel like I will never date and have sex again. I just wish I could see the future. I will say that once I went to the doctor to get a test the weight on my shoulders was lifted, I wanted to cry but still lifted. Anyone have any advice?
