you can have lower back pain with herpes recurrences. if this was due to herpes though, a week into symptoms it should've been gone.

a cough is not a sign of herpes.

lower back pain can be caused by many things.

recurrences of herpes would've been almost healed at this point.

as I've recommended previously, be seen every time you have symptoms for an exam.   You need lesion cultures at this point if they suspect herpes as a cause of your symptoms but it really sounds like it's something else going on.

unless you get a + test result for herpes, not a whole heck of a lot more we can help you with.

Who said 1%?

If you are having a hard time believing in the tests accuracy, just get a swab during symptoms in the closest health departament. Plain simple. If the virus is in the lesion, the swab test will be positive.
