Was your culture just hsv+ or specifically hsv2+?

Also how long ago was your bf tested for herpes? do you know what blood test he had done?

they did culture and blood test when i asked what blood test through lab they said general herpes 1&2 but culture pos blood neg and didnt have problems till after i had surgery fot hystrectomt took everything out but overies due to endo it seems the cathe really set me off i also have yeast infection which is normal fer me especially if i take baths instead of showers and it also burns when we did anything but i just thought it to be from surgery i had this burning urinating problem since surgery they found blood in both urine but nothing ever grew so one doc at convenient care thought i had internally cistitis sorry if didnt spell that right

He'll need to repeat his herpes igg blood test for hsv1 and hsv2 to see what his status is.  When they diagnosed you - how did they do it?

Can he get a copy of his herpes blood test results from when he was tested?  

Where were his shingles symptoms at when he had them?

if you read our read before posting post at the top of this page - you'll see it's WAY easier for us if you just keep adding to your original post instead of making a new post with each reply.  thank you for your future cooperation with this.

What did your bf have tested for shingles? Did he have symptoms that they tested or did he have a blood test for shingles? If he had a blood test for shingles, why in the heck did he have one?
