    first was the swab type specific? or a blood test? if this is genital hsv1 then it is not too bad. the first outbreak is the worst but hsv1 recurrence is less and sheds less as well. if it was a blood test you need to retest 3 months after the encounter to be definitive you didn't contract hsv2.
