Is it possible to get both types of H in the same place at once?

[BrazilGuy]

I was just diagnosed with HSV1 genitally by blood test, but HSV2 test came negative.

 

I'm 27 years old and I was never exposed to any type of herpes before. I know it because I have some IGG tests done some weeks ago and only now it turned to positive for hsv1 and I have genital symptoms and neuropathy.

 

MY QUESTION IS: Is it possible to get both types of H in the same place at once, at the same time? I ask this just to have some peace of mind that I didn't acquire HSV2 together with HSV1 at once genitally.

 

Of course HSV1 is preferrable to HSV2. I'm just affraid that my next exam will be positive to HSV2 too, I have severe nerves problems (twitching 24/7).

 

My last test was made at 12 weeks post exposure.

 

Thanks!

I might be misunderstanding but they can't pinpoint location by a blood test. Did they swab you? I'm just asking for the clarification.

 

You cant have both genital HSV1 and genital HSV2 (and if you can, it must be extremely rare-I've never heard of that before). Usually people with both have HSV1 orally and HSV2 genitally. What were your numbers from your blood test? Having those numbers would tell us more information that just a positive will.

Thanks for your reply.

 

HSV1 score: 184 (positive)

HSV2 score: 2 (negative).

 

Test made at 12 week.

Adding up, I said I never had contact with herpes before and only had symptoms in genitals.... so I'm absolute sure the virus is in genital area.

I'd rather have hsv2 oral than hsv1 oral, so 1 isn't always preferable to 2.

[hippyherpy]

2 in the mouth is the least active.

 

Do people with oral 2 have to disclose? It's not genital and less active than 1 oral.. is two oral considered "cold sores"?

I said HSV1 is preferable to HSV2 when genitally. But this thread is not open to discuss this, sorry and bye

[MMissouri]

@Brazilguy. Why do you think we are not open to discussing this? I agree that HSV1 is preferable to HSV2 genitally.

 

@Hippyherpy, good questions!? I wonder..
