    basically just means you have both types of herpes. Have you any symptoms? oral herpes past coldsores?

    ive been told the level does not mean anything. I would like an answer as i was high hsv1.

      me neither. apparently 60-70% of the global population have herpes. Not every one develops symptoms.

      what made you get tested?

      as in classic herpes, blisters etc? did you get them swabbed? that would be the inly way to distinguish.

      im no doctor bit my theory is you have HSV1 and have had this for a long time without symptoms and then the presumed unprotected encounter has given you hsv2. It will be alright.

      no I only had little open sores I noticed it on a Monday went to the doctor Thursday he told me that they was healed so he couldn't swap them.

      like i said im certainly no expert, but if that was a first outbreak id expect it to last longer than 4 days. could have been something else, friction, yeast etc. but with that said you appear to have HSV1 and HSV2 so pretty confident to say you have genital herpes and oral herpes.

      potentially get tested in a month, could be false positive you never know.

      Its tough but like i said the majority of the world have one type. dont worry.
