Petal130 I have one question

What does GHSV1 look like?
Is it suppose to look just like HSV2? Or is it ALOT smaller and ALOT less painful?

[gracefromHHP]

hsv1 genitally is milder as in less recurrences and less shedding, not milder as in hurt less or less noticeable.  actually the initial hsv1 genital infection typically is incredibly painful and presents very "classic" since the person didn't have hsv1 orally first to take the "edge" off of a hsv2 genital infection like many folks do.

make more sense?

[gracefromHHP]

they present the same exact way dear. absolutely no difference in appearance.

The reason I ask is because I have heard that GHSV1 can be very mild... Like only one sore or bump.
But some Drs say that ghsv1 will look like the cold sores on the mouth...
