Is it a HSV 1 recurrence or new HSV 2?

[confused798]

I was diagnosed with gHSV 1 two months ago when I had my first episode. Last week I had unprotected sex with a friend. The following night (less than 24 hours later) I developed what appeared to be a small mosquito bite on the shaft of my pennis. I also experienced severe discomfort in my genitals (i.e. itching and tingling). I took Valtrex and the lession and discomfort went away in 5 days. A day after finishing my Valtrex (took 500mg three times a day for 5 days), a small red "bite" appeared and I'm getting itchiness and tingling again. Could all this be a recurrence of my HSV 1 or is it a primary episode of HSV 2? It seems very close in timing to be a recurrence of HSV 1 so I'm worried I contracted HSV 2. What is the best way to test this?
Thanks so much.

thanks, grace. I'll check with a doctor if my symptoms persist.

you need to be seen to find out what is going on. odds are this is something non-herpes going on.

have you talked to your friend to see when they were last tested for herpes ( if they were ever tested before )?

valtrex for recurrences is 500mg 2x/day for 3 days.
