I have had hsv2 for one year and three months. I contracted it during normal sex and had a breakout in my groin area 8 days after contact. A biopsy from my Dermatologist came back positive for hsv 1 and hsv 2. Also, a recent exposure blood test came back with the same results. After four months I did an IGG blood test and tested positive for hsv 2 with an ab level of 1.9. negative for hsv 1. After six months I got the same results but with an ab level of 1.5. All this time I never had a breakout of any kind. Then after one year and one month I felt tired, had some red blotches break out on my chest, not bad, my right ear hurt, I got a blister under my right eyelid, and had some ulcers break out in the right corner of my mouth very similar to apthase ulcers. None of these were on the outside of my mouth. Out of curiosity, I had another IGG blood test done and again was positive for hsv 2 with an ab level of 3.95. Everyone I talked to said these are hsv 1 symptoms. So to be sure I had the Western Blot test done and it came back positive for hsv2 and negtive for hsv 1. So, I am wondering if anyone else out there has these symptoms for hsv 2. Also, if my future breakouts and shedding are going to be in my mouth and maybe a blister or two on my arm then does that mean I am pretty safe to have normal sex without worrying about transmission to my partner and just have to be careful not to have oral sex when I have a sore in my mouth.
