Hello,
I was just diagnosed with HSV-1, I received my results from an M.A. at my GYN's office via a phone call. She told me that HSV-1 is oral herpes, and that I need not worry as me testing positive could be a result of me having the Chicken Pox as a child (being that i've never had a cold sore). I found this to be incredibly concerning that she was so nonchalant about this. I wondered if anyone else had ever been told that you can test positive for HSV-1 just from having the chicken pox?
Thanks.
