Reply To: Oral HSV-2 from Casual Contact

[Terri Warren]

So I have definitely seen people who have lots of symptoms (none of which swab test positive) who have low positive HSV 2 tests and negative western blots. They don’t find out they have HSV 1 instead necessarily and I doubt that you will either. They just find out they don’t have herpes.

Herpes lesions do not come and go within a few hours – they just don’t! And from your description, they are certainly not typical herpes.

You have one more question on this round of your subscription.
