For the record, anything can be swab tested. We do clinical trials for people have no symptoms and swab their genitals every day and we recover virus. I suspect that scratching it with a sharp instrument is a really good clue to the fact that it is something else. It is also possible that if you got a new infection and we’re taking acyclovir that the symptoms would be muted
