PCR swab would be the best way to know if you're actively shedding the virus. Culture is not really reliable.
I've heard grace talk about taking several swabs over a period of time, possibly she will elaborate on that.
It's just that it's very difficult for me to know how to be responsible with this virus when I don't even know what my outbreaks look like. My doctors say it's "common sense" not to kiss with an open lesion, but what if the most I'll get with my herpes are these tiny bumps? What if they're contagious? I guess I should get a culture done?
ity could be an outbreak, but sometime in ur lip there are bumps it just normal
Anyone know? Anyone have small bumps like this? Anyone think they should be larger?
