thanks and sending you big hugs (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

Yes it was genital swab. I am still confused because according to the result and my doctor explanation I am negative for HSV 1 but am positive for HSV 2. nevertheless I think I will do the second test here. thanks again dear :) Have a great weekend!

@WCSDancer2010, got an email today from my doctor in Malaysia and confirming the blood test done is Elissa. So like I said I will wait and will do second test soon. I am grateful for your help and info. Take care and keep in touch here ;)

@WCSDancer2010, I am not living in USA now but in Europe at the moment. I am thinking of taking another test but will wait because this all still new and shocking not only to me but to my husband. I talked to my doctor in Malaysia and she will checked with the lab what type of test they did for the blood test and will know by Friday. will update you. thanks and take care.

@DazedNewbi, I just found out recently I had HVS 1 and I had the antibody against it since I might have it for a long time and I didnt know it. I am confused and upset like you but when I think that I have lived with it for a long time and married for 10 years now I didnt want it to destroy my life and put more stress in my life. I cant offer you guidance since I am still new to it but dont make yourself upset and try to think positive and may God be with you always.

but I had swab and blood test done for this test

I am not sure because I had this test done in a private hospital in Malaysia. may be the outcome of the result is not the same as in USA.

@WCSDancer2010, thank you, thank you and thank you!!! 〜〜(⋆ˆ⌣ˆ⋆)〜〜

@WCSDancer2010, Thank you for the long explanation. This is something new to me. My test for HSV 1 (lgG) is 88.1 and my HSV 2 (lgG) 12.3 which is negative and she told me my HSV 1, I could get it when I was a child or from kissing or sharing utensil with somebody that has it. I guess I am like all of you here who were careful but we didnt know we still got it! I am ok now and accepting this with open heart and now I do more reading here and also on the links that you have posted on your comments to help others and also I read the dos and donts you have on your blog which is very helpful and other forum buddy that gave me some tips or advise when I will have the symptom or shedding since I dont know when I will have it :) so far my husband is ok and I told him to get tested too. if a man have a breakout on his genital, how does it looks, does it has cuts or just rashes coz lately my husband has some sort of red rashes on his penis but I saw nothing like breakouts around his penis or thighs or groin. I saw photos when I Google up, it was really scary none of them looks like what he is having now and even the oral herpes is really scary (O_O；) it is ok to share utensil when you dont have breakout and have intercourse too? but what if you dont have any symptom how do you know you are not shedding and you might share kisses or utensil at that time? tips that I got from H buddy here is that I will know when I have OB on my mouth whenever I feel tingling, burning or pulsating around my mouth and I read whenever I have severe headache is also a sign of OB. I am still learning and will post questions from time to time on this forum. Thank you again and hope you will have a great day! (^ ‿ ^)∗ε ﾟ`) cheek kiss

thank you again for the explanation.

sorry to ask you another question. can HSV 1 cause you to cough when it is inside the mouth or the throat? since I am now coughing and I felt like there are something on my throat. I am grateful to this site and people like you who came around to help others especially for people like me who never knew we had it and who had it for the first time in their life since the doctor didnt really give us good explanation what are the dos and donts when you have HSV. Kudos to all of you for all your help and may God bless you all. thank you again and hugs from me.

Hi @PositivelyBeautiful, thank you for your long explanation since it totally make me scared after learning I had it especially like I said I dont have any symptom on me and I am grateful to God for it and do I need to take medicine even though I dont have any symptom of sores or outbreaks? thanks again and have great day!
