Are you having a type specific test for IgG HSV-1 and IgG HSV-2 antibodies?

The penis tip is not a typical place for recurrent herpes lesions, more likely around the shaft and foreskin.

A swab is probably not a bad idea for your peace of mind when a sore appears such they can check for a range of causes.
