Reply To: Testing and Confusion

[Newly Diagnosed]

To clarify, I had HSV 1 & 2 LabCorp IgG type specific antibody testing in both April (a month prior to breakout) and the same blood test again May 24 along with the breakout. I had maybe 15-20 or so lesions maybe more, very painful and spread all over the genital area, on the thighs etc., crossing the midline. Far as I could tell, the blisters weren’t “full” and didn’t “open” then crust over. They were spread out with a group of two here and there but no clusters of these little water bubble looking things. So confused.
