1. Do you think everyone should be tested for HSV even without symptoms?
No, not really, but if someone is requested a screen for sexually transmitted infection, I think herpes should be discussed and possibly included, depending on any vague symptoms or number of sexual partners.
2. Statistically speaking, I am more likely to have HSV 1 symptoms and out break on my face /oral right?
Correct
3. What percent of people with HSV1 are affected genitally?
We don’t know that.
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.
If you both have HSV 1, it is very unlikely that either of you would get it in a new location, whatever that is!
