Terri,

I am having the Igg done tomorrow which is 15 weeks post final exposure
– will this result be definitive for me? (Even though having HSV1 can delay seroconversion of 2).

I have a group of tiny red flat dots on my buttocks – never seem this before.
They’re not raised at all and they are the size of a pin head- like if you touched a ball point pen to paper
That’s how small. They haven’t changed at all throughout the day either and they’re in an area the size of a small lemon.. They’re not like any pictures I’ve seen of herpes online. Does this sound like folliculitis?

I’ve never had symptoms before – wouldn’t an outbreak on the buttocks be rate for a primary outbreak? That’s what I’ve on Dr. Hansfields postings.

I know my questions seem silly but thank you , Terri.
This is a scary time.

Best Wishes and thank you so much.
