1. If this is GHSV-1 from the unprotected oral-anal encounter, would all these symptoms show up 3 months after infection and seemingly be the initial outbreak?
That seems very unlikely to me but not impossible. You could have had it years before and this was a recurrence. Do you know through testing that you have HSV 1 infection?
2. If this is HSV-2 from the protected PIV encounter, would the initial outbreak show up on my anus when there was no anal contact whatsoever? I have read that the first outbreak typically shows up at site of infection (where the virus entered the body). True?
Ture
3. Would an initial outbreak cause sciatic type symptoms for 4+ weeks continuously?
Probably not, no , quite unlikely
