Can these symptoms be an outbreak even though there have never been any lesions?
I have no idea if you have herpes or not – you don’t explain in your post.
Has there ever been a study associating IgG test levels and amount of asymptomatic shedding? Can higher IgG mean more/less shedding?
I think we don’t have firm data on that.
Where does the shedding occur specifically? For instance, can it shed from my thighs/pubic bone area, or just the penis shaft, scrotum and perineum?
Just the penis shaft, top of the scrotum, perineum and anus
If someone gives me oral sex, can they get HSV-2 that way? And would that affect their mouth/lips or would it still manifest as a genital infection?
If they gave you oral sex and got HSV 2 orally, it would only be oral
I was reading that Epstein-barr can be acquired sexually. Have you ever seen this and is it possible my symptoms are from another type of herpes virus like EBV?
Well, since the vast majority fo people by age 35 have EBV, I supposed some of them could have acquired this very common virus during sex, but it is not a sexually transmitted infection in the way you are thinking of it.
