@alittlemad Hi there...I am in the same situation as you. I was dx with HSV1 via blood work so i dont' know where I have it. This all started after being with a new partner. I experienced a lot of vaginal problems such as re-occurring yeast infections, VB, etc... I have never actually had a real outbreak genitally, so doctors can't diagnose it as HSV. My Gyno is convinced I have HSV1 orally because I often complain of mouth blisters so she says it's HSV1 but I've never had any of them swabbed as they do not have liquid (they're just tinny little bumps), but I do get the pre-symptoms (tingly and itchy feeling on my lips) but I have never had a cold sore on my lips. I do however get blisters in my mouth almost every month. Back to my genitals - I've had a series of problems since having oral sex with a new partner last year (hence my HSV test). I truly believe I have genital HSV1 but can't get a doctor to diagnose me. I have symptoms every month after my period (usually a week after finishing period) burning sensation, severe itching, and discharge (that last about 2 weeks) and then it goes away. This happens every month. Sometimes it's very severe sometimes it's mild, but after going to the doctor so many times and being told it's nothing, I've given up and just cope with the problem. I do also get the papercut symptoms and sometimes feel the cut after sex but it's only happened a few times. After doing tons of research and reading tons of post, I've accepted the fact that it could or could NOT be HSV1. The fact is I have it somewhere but I'll never know where until I get a real lesion to get it swabbed. I know this probably doesn’t bring comfort to you, but I wanted to let you know you are not alone.

@notsurehere, I have HSV1 and only get blisters in my mouth, mostly on tongue. I just found out I had HSV1 in May of this year after getting tested for all STDs and complaining of constant blisters on my tongue. I am not sure how I got it and when I got it since I was positive via blood test, but I feel like I got my first outbreak in May. I was under a lot of stress and anxiety and might have been the reason for the outbreak. I had them for almost 2 months. They went away in late June and never got an actual blister on my lips. I kept waiting, and waiting to see if a blister was going to pop up on my lips but it never did. I got lots of tingly and itchy symptoms on my lips but never got a blister other than the ones on my toung. Now a month later, blisters have returned on my tongue and have had them for 3 days now but nothing on my lips. I have finally stopped worrying about getting an outbreak on my lips. I figure if I am going to get them, it would have appeared by now. Hugs to you and hope you're getting some relief and peace with all this

Thank you for your response @wcsdancer2010. Unfortunately, it is my GYN that has been treating me but doesn't seem to really know what's going on. She keeps giving me antibiotics and yeast creams and it helps for a few days but the itching and burning returns with some discharge. She's convince that my mouth sores are herpes related which is why she prescribed Famvir, but it seems she's not sure what's going on down there. Every test she does comes back negative for yeast, bv, tric, and a few others. I am going to retest for HSV2 in a few weeks but I am worried my results won't be accurate since I am on antivirals. I read that somewhere but not sure if that's true. Do you think I should seek a second opinion?

So I was just diagnosed with HSV-1 about two weeks ago. While I am a bit shocked, it’s possible I had it since child because I’ve gotten fever blisters on my tounge before. However, I can’t seem to feel like it’s a primary infection. Going back to why I got tested….about 3 months ago, I had sex with a new partner who I have been kissing since March. I never noticed any blisters or anything on his lips. A week after that I had a yeast and bv infection. It was treated and all was better. I then stupidly had oral sex again two weeks later. But didn’t have any symptoms of any kind until a month later, started developing yeast infection and bv again. Doc put me on more antibiotics and tested me for all STDs including HSV-1 & 2 via blood work on (5/7). I've had cold sores/fever blisters in my tongue for about 3 weeks now (started 5/6). I also noticed a bump in my vulva area around the time i got the cold sores. Doctor confirmed it looks like some kind of ulcer but non herpes related. She said not too worry. She prescribed me more antibiotics and sent me home. I am done with the antibiotics for yeast and bv infections but still had itching, burning, and tingling down there. My doctor called me with results and said everything came back negative expect for HSV1. So I go back a week later complaining of the itching and burning in my genital area. She checked me again down there and said there were no blisters or signs of HSV2 but went ahead at swabed me for additional testing for yeast or other infections. She suggested I re-test for HSV2 via blood in a few weeks if I wanted peace of mind. This time she prescribed me Famvir 500 mg for the fever blisters since I was still complaining I had them. Since being on the Famvir for 7 days now, my mouth blisters have gotten better, and the itching and burning has lighten up but not completely gone. Is it possible I have GHSV-1 and just haven’t gotten a breakout? Perhaps because I’ve had HSV-1 orally. I am so confused, stressed, and worried about all this. I can’t find peace with my HSV-1 diagnosis either. Thanks in advance for any thoughts and suggestions!
