HHH did respond to your question on his board- you were able to get thru and post there :)
He pretty much said the same thing I said to you back in june in your question on this in the herpes forum - pcr swabbing of symptoms at this point is probably the best course of action. Did you ever ask your provider about that?

Thanks, good memory. I think the last time I posted, I had just received my first negative Herpeselect result. As I had no lesions until just recently, I had previously decided to just go and do a second Herpeselect test and see what it said. Theoretically I thought a double negative had a very tiny error rate. When I got the second negative result, I started to think OK perhaps this is not herpes despite previous lesions. Then I was hit with new lesions just a few days ago. They already are almost gone after 2-3 days, they were probably the mildest I have seen, though they were still painful and the apparent prodrome that preceded really seemed to fit the bill. So now I am just going back to believing I have HSV and will go back to taking acyclovir suppressively (note that I had stopped taking it after the second negative blood test). I probably should have rushed to get a new swab test this time around, but it all took me a bit by surprise. I guess next time I can do it. But the odd thing is, aren't even swab tests frequenly falsely negative? Even more so than the blood test I believe. Thus if its negative it might not say much. But I guess if it is positive then I know for sure that the 2 previous blood tests were false negative. In any case for sake of sanity (I rather be surprised in a good way rather than in a bad way), I am treating myself as HSV+ until the next lesions, which might be (hopefully) awhile since I will restart suppressive acyclovir.
