Yes, mine was literally just one sore so the doctor wasn't convinced until I tested positive via IGG blood test

4 weeks is too soon for an IGG and IGM isn't accurate, I would retest at 3 months! Good luck and message me if you have any questions 😃

Not at all unusual, especially if it's GHSV-1. Outbreaks for many can be minimal, if not absent altogether...
