you can have either type of herpes in either location. The free herpes handbook at www.westoverheights.com has terrific info on the basics of herpes for more reading :)  

you'd need to be seen and get properly examined and also get tested for yeast infections vaginally to find out what is going on.

I have had anal itching and around my clitoris but there are no bumps I am also on antibotics for an ear infection which almost always gives me a yeast infection.  Does this sound like genital herpes

it appears that you had non-type specific herpes igg blood testing done which is a waste of your time and money. You'll need to get your blood testing repeated with type specific testing to have better answers.  make sure they test for hsv1 and hsv2 both specifically, not just hsv2.

the herpes igm test is a waste of time and money and shouldn't be used.
