Hi all...have some questions I am hoping you all can help me with.
In January I had some sort of infection in my genital region after having oral and vaginal sex with my boyfriend. I thought I had a yeast infection but then noticed some bumps around the vaginal area. As soon as I noticed I went to urgent care, where I was tested for all std's. (swab and blood)
All of my tests came back negative, however, I recently learned that they did not test for hsv when they swabbed, they had only tested for antibodies in the blood, which came back negative.
A few weeks ago I got my blood tested again and have come back positive for hsv1. I know my boyfriend has had cold sores since then and I have definitely kissed/shared drinks with him. I have not had any other problems genitally (or orally) since January.
My questions is, should I assume I have oral hsv1 and try to forget about the infection I had in January (which is what all of my doctors have told me to do) or do I assume I had an outbreak of genital hsv1? I never considered myself an anxious or obsessive person, but ever since I tested positive for hsv1 this is all I can think about. Please help!!!
