Reply To: Confusing Test Results

Oh wow. I just really hope I didn’t get it so I don’t have to consider that as an option. Also, one last round of questions:

1. Is cobblestone throat a common herpes symptom? Even for throat herpes? Doctor told me it was just allergies probably.

2. If I did get oral hsv2 would it only show up as cold sores usually or would there be more going on actually inside my mouth? (In the cheek, on the tongue, gums, etc.) Not sure what would be common with oral hsv2 or if it manifests any differently.

The cold sores I got really freaked me out as I normally don’t get that many. But I haven’t had anything since and I’m starting to believe it could have been due to the sunburn I had gotten a week prior to getting them.

3. Is it possible to give myself another cold sore from say using the same toothbrush i used when I had gotten one? Or using the same chapstick?

Sorry if these are dumb questions. Just trying to gather as much info as possible while I’m in the waiting period to get tested again.
