We’ve been keeping track of people who get positive IgG with negative supplemental results. So far, all have been negative for HSV 2 by Western blot.
What was your HSV 1 result? And has he been tested for HSV 1 and 2?
Oral HSV 2 is rare indeed.
Herpes does not present as a blood blister.
I think that you need a herpes western blot for confirmation of your herpes status.
You need to have been off Valtrex for at least three months from the time you were initially diagnosed.
