Got my results after 25 years of having H

[NotPerfect714]

My blood tests came back positive for HSV1, but negative for HSV2. I now know who gave this to me (he had a wonking cold sore once and strictly refused to let me kiss him). Since I ONLY get OB's genitally (have never had one on my mouth), I would assume he gave it to me that one or two times we had oral sex. I don't blame him since he probably gave it to me unaware and I was too stupid to even know that could happen. Anyway, maybe that's why I've only gotten 3 OB's the past 25 years (up until this year). I hear that HSV1 genitally has fewer OB's. Is that right? Also, maybe lysine will work better for me since it's proven to help cold sores. One can hope anyway.
