I don’t think you need to stop Valtrex and get another IgG antibody test. Why would you? You had a positive HSV 1 swab test which is totally an adequate diagnosis. The test isn’t great for HSV 1 to start with and the antiviral therapy can keep antibody development at bay for months, maybe years! Having HSV 1 infection that is well established (read that as four months without antiviral therapy) will keep you from getting it at a new location on your body. He has no risk of giving you oral sex – he already has well established HSV 1 infection. You can kiss, have intercourse, and have oral sex. You can fly over the moon! You are all set. HSV 1 is unlikely to recur frequently if at all. You guys are all set together as far as HSV 1 infection is concerned.
Please ask more questions as you have them.
