    I just had the one sore and the doctors were convinced it wasn't herpes because it was so mild. It didn't even blister just went straight to a sore. I tested positive via IGG for HSV2 4 months after exposure.

    I have something similar and am going today to have it swabbed (even though there is no fluid and the sore is not open) and I'm going to request a blood draw as well just for my mind. I'll update you after I talk to my gyn! If you want to compare bumps, I have a post on this thread with pictures of mine.
