Outbreak
I was diagnosed with hsv 1 & 2 recently, and I've never had a cold sore, but I have had some vaginal problems. Since last spring, I have had about three or four "outbreaks" but each time my symptoms are different. For example, right now, I'm experiencing a cluster of small, flat-ish red bumps. no liquid is inside, but there seems to be a very, very small opening. it's hard to describe. Does this sound like an outbreak, or could it be something else? Perhaps hpv?
Thank you.
Thank you.

I'm assuming it was, I went thru lapcorp, so they tested for both. like everyone, I'm just trying to accept this, it just seems so odd to me. I have read about the western blot... I guess that it the best option from here.
Thank you for your response.

thanks for your response, fleetwood. i did type specific testing because I never had been tested for hsv before, hsv 1 was 4.0, hsv 2 was 2.0 or maybe a little less. no higher than that, though.
What testing did you have that suggested you had both HSV1 and 2? What were the individual IgG results?
