I think I do understand. You had not had any symptoms until you had the sugar wax is that correct? And you don’t believe that you have HSV two it except it sounds like you do believe you have it because you’ve had positive swab tests from what you report as multiple outbreaks and a high IgG antibody result. But you think you got it from the Doctor Who did a biopsy? Just to clarify, skin infections don’t turn into herpes. Herpes is a completely separate thing from other skin infections. Also, it is pretty common for people who get waxing in the genital area to have that action elicit an outbreak when one has not been noticed in the past. Waxing really irritates the nerves in that area and it’s pretty common for that to be the reason for a first recognized outbreak. If you want to do a western blot you surely can. But I don’t doubt for a moment that you have HSV two, given positive swab tests and positive antibody test at that level.
