    the best way to get tested is a swab of the sore. i tested negative in blood test but positive on swab for hsv1

      the hospital lost my lab results so im not sure what to do but to get a blood test the sore been healed up and i honestly dont want to wait until i break out again to know for sure

      my results might be just like yours negative blood positive swab

      a blood test is only reliable after 3 months so keep that in mind. if it's negative you should be ok. your breakout looked very bad, like real bad staph infection

    cant really see what that is from picture looks like sores. you need to go to a gyn someone who specializes with vaginas as soon as you can . you dont have to have signs of herpes to know someone has it
