Is it possible to test for one and not the other? Tested positive for hsv-2 but negative for hsv-1 the hsv-2 was a really high result and my doctor said its because I had to have been exposed at least 6 weeks ago. I have never had an OB or even in a cold sore. I have been trying to look for signs and symptoms of OB but they are unclear. i was diagnosed yesterday and I'm still in disbelief trying to figure it out. :'(

Yes it is completely normal to test positive for one and not the other. You are just one of the 10% of adults who don't have hsv1.

I have read where 80% of those who have herpes don't know because they have never had an outbreak or symptoms nor have they been tested. Fortunately, if you have never had an outbreak you probably never will.

Learn all you can about what you have and you will see that herpes is a very common, mostly harmless virus.

Good luck!

What chat?

If you are on a PC click on "Live Chat Rooms". If you are on a phone, I know you can access chat but do not know how.

      Czy to opryszczka?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Zrozpaczona9 that looks like folliculitis to me, that’s independent of the question of herpes. The doctor is wrong in the sense that a negative IgG test is beyond reasonable doubt that you do not have herpes. It is a small percentage of people for which a false negative occurs. The doctor is right to take a swab to increase your confidence that there’s no herpes present. I’m sure you’ll have your result soon.

      Czy to opryszczka?

      By Zrozpaczona9 · Posted

      Hey @WilsoInAus miałam dzisiaj wizytę u dermatologa, gdyż dostałam zmian w pachwinie, w trakcie wakacji nad morzem. Udałam sie tam ze zmianami w postaci strupów. Powiedział ze nie można wykluczyć opryszczki mimo negatywnego wyniku Hsv igg i zalecił wymaz z pochwy na Hsv i inne choroby. Wytłumaczyłam mu że zmiany zamieniają się w strup, ale nie ma w nich płynu, więc zalecił badanie śluzu pochwy na hsv PCR, zastanawiam się czy ma to sens, i czy wirusa można wykryć na podstawie tego badania w wydzielin z szyjki macicy. Z góry dziekuje za pomoc
