I had unprotected sex with a man i had previously been intimate with a few months ago and i was ok. He was seeing other women in between. 2 days later i felt a bump near the opening of my vagina and sores in my mouth. I went to the doctor to get tested and came out positive for hsv 1 but negative for hsv2 . I'm still happy symptoms and it seems like it's getting worse as the weeks go bay. Maybe i tested too early. I will be retesting this week since it's been over 2 weeks now. Does this look like h2??? Did he ruin my life forever? imageimage

    It's very possible that you contracted HSV1 on your genitals as well. Genital Herpes can either be type 1 or 2 just as long as it's on the genitals. Your life is not over, it's merely a skin condition. Warm regards.
