Reply To: Herpes Testing Confusion

Hi Terri,

One follow up, I just read the thread you having going tonight with very paranoid. You told him that “most likely” he would have symptoms if he contracted genital HSV-1. Thinking back I probably heard what I wanted to hear when I said the UW person “almost always”. They probably said something closer to most likely, but wouldn’t it be a similar situation whether acquiring HSV 1 or HSV 2 if it is a true PRIMARY infection with no antibodies in the system? Wouldn’t the likely hood of symptoms be the same?

Thank you again. I am really sorry for any confusion I caused with my previous post. I just want to put this behind me.

Thanks Terri!
