Reply To: HSV1 & 2 IGg Results

[user8892]

That’s my concern that my pcp doesn’t know much about hsv1.

I believe I have it both gentailly and orally. I know it’s mentioned this is rare but I think I may have spread it to my face during self inspection.

Is it possible to be on suprisive therapy 1g daily?

How often do you shed oraly?

I want to makeout/kiss or perform oral, how safe is it to do so with no sores?

On your response: I don’t know if your infection is oral or genital.

I mentione: This started as a burning and redness in perineum area with no sores, then eventually Irritation in the nose and above the lips. (Never on the lips).

I believe I have it in both locations. Because how it started and not the irritation/episodes I know have on my face. Because I don’t get typical or common outbreaks Can doctor swab the surface of my skin with no breakout and detect the virus? I want to know if my constant itching, burning and off&on rash and dryskin is hsv1 presenting itself differently from the common signs

Could you address these 2 questions from my 1st questions

In August I received an index of greater than 5 and at 6 months index 45. My greater than 5 index would have been 5 weeks after infection,(end of june) would that mean I got infected 5 weeks before or was this long standing?

Also my 45 index was while I was on Valtrax for 3 months. (500 MG daily) does being in suppressive therapy make my antibodies higher?

I’m at 9 months of abstaining and 6 months of suppressive therapy, is it okay for me to have sex and kiss now?
