Reply To: HSV1 worries and anxiety

[Anxiousqueen]

Thanks for answering my questions. Since my positive IGG I’ve been consistently checking and have never seen anything resembling an outbreak.

1. Do you think everyone should be tested for HSV even without symptoms?
2. Statistically speaking, I am more likely to have HSV 1 symptoms and out break on my face /oral right?
3. What percent of people with HSV1 are affected genitally?
4. If my soon to be husband is HSV1 IGG positive we can’t infect each other correct? He is so understanding and it does not concern him, but will get tested eventually for my peace of mind.
