Reply To: Oral hsv2?

[Anervouswreck]

Hi Terri,

Yes I’m paranoid that my oral itching and tingling is from oral hsv 2 because it never turns into an actual cold sore. It just itches and tingles and get red in same area about 2 times a year. But as soon as I notice I apply herpicin Chapstick and in 2 -5 days the sensation is gone. I had NO idea there was a possibility it could be oral hsv 2 until after she drank and had symptoms and I started browsing the net.

And yes, I had HER antibody tested. So do you think that .15 is picking up antibodies slowly? And do you think a first time oral infection/outbreak should last 8 weeks? And is it possible for it to travel to her genital area in the future? I feel my whole world has just stopped.

Thanks.
