God... Those tests ARE NOT accurate... Jeez... Its so hard to tell the differance between the HSV-1 and HSV-2 strains... All that test means is you have anti bodies for hsv, which means you could be HSV-1 positive... 50-80% of the general population have HSV-1 the virus that causes cold sores... So you probably have one or the other... You most likely have HSV-1...

      Hi @WhatDidIDo2023, hopefully all is well with you and your significant other and are still together.   Did she develop any other symptoms after you mentioned her getting itchiness? Was it determined what you had was contagious? Most likely developed a fungal disease and caused her a yeast or uti

      Hi @Luna 01 I really feel it is worthwhile obtaining a proper Herpeselect test given the outcomes of the home panel test. Regardless, your current symptoms are almost certainly not related to herpes. Hopefully, your doctor can assist in resolving these.
