Reinfection
Iv just come down with a sore throat and swollen tonsils. I have genital herpe for 6 months but have never had sores.
I was just wondering if I could reinfect myself orally and therefore that be the cause of the severe pain in my throat. I also have swollen neck glands. The only way that i could have thought that i could have reinfected myself is when i shower.

By blood test about 3 months ago. Result has HSV 2. My main question here is now likely is it that the symptoms im displaying is autoinnoculation / selfinfection?
Your oral symptoms most likely don't have a darn thing to do with herpes. See your provider for a strep throat culture though.
