Reply To: Testing for hsv

[Naisa84]

Thank you for the response. I’ve gotten cold sores orally in my lifetime, but very few. So I think I’ve always had ohsv1. Never new I can test for it until I saw the symptoms on my genitalia, and read up on it, and got tested. I also found out that I tested positive for mycoplasma genitalium not too long ago. Can that be a contributor to the recurrences on my genitals? Why I tested for Mgen was because I’m getting a discharge from my urethra, when my symptoms originally started back in October of last year. I thought it had to do with the hsv, but it’s clear it’s from the positive test of Mgen. I’ve been taking antibiotics for it. Also are prodome symptoms the same for both types of hsv before an initial outbreak?
