when they did your lesion culture, did they type it to know if you have hsv1 or hsv2?
do you have a regular partner? if so, have they been tested yet to know their status.
If you and a partner are trying to figure out who had herpes first, your blood testing needs to be done sooner rather than later.

I also had a swab test and with that it gives you an accurate result..
i also came positive for herpes...i got really depressed for like 1 month
but its not the end of the world...c it as achne it comes and goes away:)
life goes on
Your culture test stating you have HSV is conclusive and an antibody test won't do you any good. A blood test can become positive in as soon as 2 weeks and take up to 3 months when majority of people will become positive.
