This will probably sound like a stupid question, but I really don't know the answer. I am preparing myself to go in and take a blood test for H. If the results should come back positive for HSV-1 and negative for HSV-2, does this mean that I do not have genital herpes of any kind? If I had HSV-1 genitally, would this also show up as HSV-1 on the test? If so, then I am guessing the only way to diagnose HSV-1 genitally would be through a culture?
Also, my symptoms are very mild, but I do have a lot of itching. NO pain, but itching. I have also had some marks in my pubic region where I shave that do not ooze or anything like that... in fact, I picked at them the other day and they bled.
Thanks for your help and support.
