      I mat have posted initially without subscription, but I made sure to pay before I posted this. sorry!

      This is a long story, please bear with me.

      I went to massage parlor at the end of October which I regret very much. There was handjob, kissing on breasts and fingering (by me). I cleaned my hands and that was it.

      A week later I only noticed a small scab suddenly in the underside of penis (circumcised) morning, and its surrounding was red (looked like a red patch). There was another small scab a little further away, and two days later that scab got bigger and smaller scabs(dots) showed up in a line. I peeled them off in the shower accidentally, and there was red raw skin underneath. It turned white I believe and didn’t scab again. I went to the doctor that same day I discovered the scab and was told it was not herpes. The cell culture could not be done as they told me it was scabbing already. I even took pictures, and took it a different doctor and was told it did not look like herpes. That area was pink red for weeks and now its normal color.

      Previously I did not have any sexual relationships, and earlier this year I was positive for hsv 1 (cold sore in lips) after encounter within two weeks. Since then there hasn’t been any sexual encounters. After a month of this encounter I took a blood test. I was positive for hsv 1 (>6) and positive for hsv 2 (1.85). It was negative when I last took a blood test in the summer (positive for hsv 1) thus I was scared.

      Finally, two months post encounter, I took another IGG test the results came similar (hsv 1 >6 and hsv 2 1.87). If you notice there is a jump from 1.85 to 1.87. I have taken these two tests at the same place, and I decided to take another test somewhere else. I did not get the results, I was told by phone that I had hsv 1 and hsv (both high as they told me). I asked from the numbers, and they are:

      hsv 1 8.00
      hsv 2 3.1

      I took this third test a week after the second test, and now I am seeing this big jump. The doctors are telling me I am positive for hsv 2, and no more tests are required. I have asked around online and they said something more happened at the massage parlor but this is what happened! There was a shower (full body),and after that she massaged me with a liquid (body lotion) and it was till finish. There was no unprotected oral otherwise I would have remembered it. I kept thinking if she did have sores, I would have had something on my fingers by now.

      I know this is a long story, but I would be happy if this was read and understood. The question is: do I have herpes 1 or 2? I have pictures if needed. Thank you Terri.

      Ah yes, you did do two posts, I see that now. Would you like me to ask the webmaster to arrange a refund or do you just want six questions total?

      I would like to stick with the other post and continue the conversation from there. Is it possible to cancel this post since I wasn’t sure initially?

      Absolutely. We will go with six questions total and I’ll remember that we are working on the other post. Don’t post anymore here.
