I too had a OB ON MY arm but symptoms were happening in my genitals. I'm trying to gain knowledge until my test results come back. Did you ever feel tingling/itching in your genitals?

But were the results of the swab test? Was it properly typed for HSV1 and HSV2? Have you had a followup blood test if there were doubts regarding the swab?

The issues on your arms will not be related to a genital herpes infection.

How were you diagnosed with genital herpes? Was it a swab or blood test?

Not quite sure what that is, but I was diagnosed with genital herpes.

No this will not be related to a genital herpes infection. A separate infection to oral and genital regions is possible but extremely unlikely. It will more likely be HSV1.

Have you been diagnosed with HSV previously?
