In addition to the ones above:

4. Are abdominal cramps a herpes symptom? I am about to start my period but still just wanted to know.

5. Do you think its odd I got 1 cold sore and then 3 more showed up in a matter of days even though i rarely get cold sores? Or is a sunburn likely to cause an outbreak? They went away almost as soon as i put abreva on them. (This was about a week after I initially got lip sunburned and my skin was dry and flaking off a lot throughout the week. This was also 4-5 days after last oral sex contact) and like I said, I was also severely stressed and about to start my period.

6. How likely is it to have oral hsv1 and oral hsv2? Have you seen that before? Does hsv1 provide ANY minor protection from hsv2?

7. Last question! How accurate is an igg at 4 weeks? Should i just wait til week 6 or save up for a western blot at week 12? The thought of getting a false positive deeply stresses me out. Im so beyond stressed and I can’t focus on day to day tasks. The mental strain this has taken on me is so severe and while I’m not worried about hurting myself I’ve experienced suicidal ideation for the first time in years.

Thank you so much for your time. And please don’t forget the questions above this one! Thanks again.
