Blood tests are much more accurate than a culture as cultures can miss finding the virus on the surface and if the first test was a blood test, and it was igg type specific with a number over 3.5, that would be considered conclusive for hsv2 positive.
There was no pain in the bumps that were present. They didn't hurt or rupture at any point during the time they were present. I am waiting to get the number from the test. I appreciate your info though,thank u.
