1. If it could have been from an oral hsv1 exposure, is it likely I’m infected orally and genitally? I’m very nervous I have it on my mouth as well. I haven’t had a sore or anything on my mouth, but a couple instances of burning around my lips and on my face.
If you are HSV one positive on the western blot, we will not be able to know if your infection is oral, genital, or both. The only way to know the location of an HSV one infection is to have a sore swab tested if it appears in either location.
2. I am having some type of symptoms daily since the initial symptoms started 7 weeks ago. Is it likely I’m having back-to-back outbreaks? It’s mostly nerve pain and burning, which I’m not sure why it isn’t going away entirely. I have a video appointment with you tomorrow to get the western blot ordered. I appreciate your time. Thank you.
It is very unlikely that any herpes infection would be presenting daily. I think we are meeting at 10 o’clock Pacific time today and we’ll talk more
