Ok so I will answer your questions in order. Yes I did have a swab test and it was positive for herpes and no it was not typed with the swab. The outbreak was pretty classic as far as pictures I found on the internet. Very painful, swollen inguinal nodes, flu like symptoms etc. And I am positive I’ve never had a cold sore on my lips or nose. Yes I have been the receiver of oral sex and the outbreak happened 3 days after I received oral sex from a new partner. The lab values are as follows: In January 2014 my IgM test came back positive but my IgG was <0.90 for types 1 and 2. I had a repeat IgG test in July ’14 and it came back with HSV-1 postive value of 15. The July test for HSV-2 had a value of <0.91
I hope I answered all the questions. Thanks!
