First, we don’t know that you are having herpes outbreaks as the lesion was not swabbed. There is no difference in symptoms between HSV 1 and HSV 2 except if someone has long-standing HSV 1, which you do, then when they acquire HSV 2, they most often do so with minimal symptoms. Which is why I was worried about the sore. Yes, repeat the testing and if negative for HSV 2 when 10-12 weeks have passed, I see no reason for you to go on suppression for your HSV 1 as we don’t even know if it is oral or genital at this point.
