Everything online looks nothing like whats been happening to me. i know i have it because my partner got tested and he had it too. His outbreak has bumps on penis... no pain, itching, flaking, red inflammation, nothing. Is this normal?
You had a swab or blood test to confirm you have herpes?
it was a blood test. 
one of the worst days of my life.
I can imagine. It’s not easy to get results like that but this is manageable & you have a beautiful life ahead of you. Stay strong and positive. 
Was it IGG or IGM test? Positive for Herpes 1 and/or 2?
Sorry just saw you had HSV 2 on the subject. Was it high or low? IGG or IGM tests?
