HSV1-Genitally ?
Okay so around the end of last year I gave someone I was seeing oral sex. And they gave me oral sex. About a week later I received a cold sore. That was my first time receiving a cold sore that I could remember. And since that one only had experienced about 1 or two more. Earlier this year I had been experiencing itching, discomfort, and bumps In my vaginal region. I got a swab done and it came back negative for HSV-1 & 2 but I knew that the bumps had to be herpes because I would get lesions and even bumps with puss. I requested a blood igg test and months had passed so I felt I could get a accurate result. I was Positive for HSV-1 and negative for 2. I plan on getting another swab done to test for HSV-1 genitally. Could this be anything else I'm experiencing? If it is HSV-1 genitally how bad is it? And how often will I deal with outbreaks? Since getting a new partner and getting pregnant I find im having these outbreaks more. Could my pregnancy be causing this? Can I expect it to die down its stop once I give birth and have normal hormones?
Herpes lesions do not have puss. They are fluid filled lesions. I highly doubt you have hsv1 oral and genital infections. That being said have any new lesions swabbed to make sure. Stress can cause outbreaks and a woman who is pregnant is under a lot of body stress.
Hsv1 of the genitals (which I am doubtful you have) is pretty mild with most people. Very few outbreaks and the virus sheds very little as well. If you do indeed have it, most likely you will experience very few outbreaks after pregnancy.

Hello, and Thank you for your feedback.I do experience some regular lesions and some fluid filled bumps sometimes they appear to have puss in them a whitish yellow color. I'm certain it's herpes I can't figure what could be causing this.Its pretty aggressive and doesn't want to leave again I think because of stress and my pregnancy hormones...I did a genital swab it came back negative but I think I need to be reswabed maybe? I'm thinking it's hsv-1 genitally ...but it's so aggressive i know it's supposed to be mild hardly even noticeable. Not understanding what's going on.
