When a person has an outbreak with lesions (oral or genital), the area can be swabbed/cultured for the herpes virus.
If you tested via blood test for oral HSV-1, and have had cold sores for years, leave it at that: you have oral HSV-1.
Also, a rash lasting 4 months is not herpes.
Thank you for the advice. Is there anyway to test the cells in the genital area because the blood test shows up positive because i have had oral hsv-1 as long as i can remember. I just need a definite answer.
All of the doctors have said you don't have herpes, and you know you already have HSV1, along with about 70% of the population.
Autoinnoculation is incredibly rare. listen to your docs, stop worrying and move on from the herpes thing.
As to the red rash, see a dermatologist if it continues.
