anxious

i am really sorry to disrupt anyone by posing again, so here goes.
i am very acxious abut testing tomorrow for HSV 2 IgG so before i get tested i just want some reassurance:
1. is it possible to have your first out break after 2 and 11 months
2. now i have had a enlarged femoral lymph node for a week  does the out break happen before a week of symptoms.
3. is it normal to only have a enlarged femoral gland as the only symptom of HSV 2 out break.
4. if i have HSV 2 will my immune system be adequate, meaning will have have to take meds for a life time
5 is HSV 2 life threatening when i get old  

please help please please

taking the test anyways for peace of mind and also to stop bugging you about my depression. anyways i did cut my pubes before the enlarged node so it possible can be a ingrown hair. i will let you know about the test result.

Hi
1. yes its possible
2. with a new infection esp hsv2 and your negative for hsv1, if there are symptoms often with the enlarged node there is often a fever and the body is mounting a defense building antibodies and can be a whole body experience with muscle aches.
3. its possible
4. meds will only be necessary if you have recurrent outbreaks to help surpress the virus multiplying.
5. no
