I was diagnosed with HSV-1 & HSV-2 a month ago. My doctor wasn't very knowledgeable and told me to do research online. I found a lot of information about the two and I understand what the differences are, but what does it mean to have both? A nurse told me I may have already had HSV 1, which is quite possible since my mother suffers from cold sores. I've never had a cold sore. Could I have caught 1 and 2 at the same time?

I was diagnosed a month ago. I was sleeping with a guy off and on without protection. He knew he had it, but did not disclose to me. About three weeks down the line I developed a sore on my vagina. I saw the doctor, but she was unsure whether or not it was herpes or some other irritation. My results were positive for HSV1 and HSV2. The one sore was painful for a few days, but for the most part was bearable. My doctor said I had a mild reaction..whatever that means. I am going through another outbreak now I believe because I am on my period. I have absolutely no pain with this one.
