If my blood test shows I have a brand new outbreak but wasn't determined which simplex and my boyfriends blood test came back as having it and being simplex 1 but it was laying dormant does that mean I have simplex 1? I broke out bad all over my anus, vagina, and mouth at the same time. He always preformed oral on me and we would have sex and anal sex. I'm just a bit confused on how I got in genitally when he has oral? Also after I broke out he did on his faces
Type 1 can cause both oral and genital (as well as other body area) infections. If you still have fresh lesions, you should get them swabbed.
Okay. My Dr hasn't really helped much. And I still want to get my blood done just to see. It's been a couple months and they're all healed and gone away. He did swap them and sent them into the lab but he just said that it came back positive. It's just all very confusing to me. Isn't it not likely to get oral in the genital area
Call the clinic and ask if your swab was typed, and if so, which type are you positive for. Type matters, so good to find out, although it does sound like Type 1, since your bf has it orally and had an outbreak immediately afterwards. The IgG antibody test at 3 mouths can also determine infection, but not location, although in your case that seems pretty clear. Fyi, Type 1 is increasingly the cause of genital herpes, especially amongst young people. It's not "oral herpes" that you have genitally, but HSV-1, which is often but by no means exclusively oral. Hope that explains things!
