HSV 1 multiple strain?

[Tweetsoc]

So I've been reading so much about hsv and how drhhh says if you have hsv1 you can't get it again etc...

Is HSV1 strain the same for everybody or are there unique hsv1 strains?

Also, 3 week igm and igg for both hsv1 and 2 is neg.

Does the window period start the day you were exposed or the the day you got your first symptom?

There are different strains of hsv1 - slightly different. However, the antibodies you develop if you have one strain will protect you from getting any other strain. It's not something you need to worry about.

Do you know if you can have cold blisters for year's yet test neg for hsv1?

I mean if it was hsv1 then my igg ten years later multiple test would have picked it up no?

The reason I ask is I had received oral to scrotum and exactly 10 days later and mind you it's been a month now. I have been having strange symptoms

First the entire testicle turned red including the groin and under neath the testicle. Left side of the testicle become extremely swollen.

I have itching, burning, crawling, redness, and some blisters that are healing in the testicle near the groin fold.

I am praying it's yeast or fungus but I saw few doc and all they said it's they don't know and let's wait and see..

Idk...i went through all the post here and no one seems go through what I did.

What are chances of hsv2 from this? I thought I had hsv1 but I guess the test proved that to be wrong.

All I had was a contact to the scrotum for idk 20 min intense rubbing

Anything?
