Herpes diagnosis
by Name22, Sep 05, 2007 02:07PM
I did a blood test recently and it came out positive or as the doctor put "high" for HVS2 and I am not sure what she means. I got some sores on buttocks which I thought would be shingles. According to what i have read on the net, shingles is a form of herpes and reoccurs in the same area. I have had probably 2-3 out breaks on the same spot but wanted to know if its possible for it to break out anywhere else, such as the vaginal area, considering the virus is present? I have never had a problem or an outbreak and now I am freaking out! please advise. Thank you.

You can have herpes lesions anywhere in the entire boxer short area in a lifetime. They won't always be in the same spot. Also even though so far your lesions seem to be on the buttock area - you are still shedding the virus from the entire anogenital area with ob's and periodically in between. I say that so that you understand that you shouldn't be having sex when you have an ob just because the ob's are on your butt.
I encourage you to read the herpes handbook and watch the patient counseling video at www.westoverheights.com. Both are very helpful to learn more about herpes. Also if you have a regular partner - they should get tested for herpes too.
