yes cold sores are HSV1..since since u've had it since highschool it would make sense to test positive for that..
HSV-1 is different from HSV-2..which is the more serious genital herpes.
I want to thank you for taking the time to answer my question. So you are saying that I most likley did not contract gential herpes from this one time encounter? The positive test resut for HSv1 is from having cold sores and I don't have gential herpes?
You already knew you had hsv1 due to your history of cold sores.
If you really want to cover your bases, repeat your hsv2 igg at the 16 week post encounter mark for it to be more accurate. the risk of acquiring hsv2 from a one time encounter is pretty low.
