If you are concerned you have contacted HSV1 (oral Herpes) or HSV2 (genital Herpes) I suggest you go and get an IGg antibody test as this will indicate whether or not you have the STD HSV (Herpes Simplex) Anything above a 0.9 on the IGg test is considered a positive.
Herpes Zooster is in the form of Chicken pox and Shingles is also a variant of Herpes Zooster. NOTE HERPES ZOOSTER AND HERPES SIMPLEX! Two different strains of the virus.
That is all I can remember off the top of my head.
I think the herpes handbook by terri warren, our herpes expert here on medhelp, will much better answer your questions. just google it - it comes right up and it's free :)
