Scared straight and on the verge of suicide!!!

The last time I had sex was on August 20,2010. I finally decided to do a STD check up on February 12,2011 due to a tingling sensation I've been having for the past couple of months. All tests were negative except my HSV results and pap results pending. My HSV results were HSV I/II, IGG 23.9 HIGH AND HSV, IGM I/II COMBINATION 3.48 HIGH. I repeated the tests on February 16 and the results were HSV 1 and 2 Igm antibodies <1:10 and HSV type 2 specific AB Igg <0.91 HSV type 1 Igg still pending. Does this mean I have herpes? And how can you tell if it's a new infection versus an old one?

no, they don't routinely test for herpes during pregnancy.  

the bacteria you tested + for that meant that you needed antibiotics during delivery is probably strep b.  

I'm glad you are finally getting help with this - for both the depression and anxiety as well as the issues going on genitally :)

My so called coldsores never came in the form of an actual coldsore with pus and crust. Its always one or two bumps at the bottom of my lip. I had a bump that was disappearing when I first took the test in February and before that when I was a teenager or younger just once. I had a child when I was 25 wouldn't my obgyn pick it up on testing?  That's Why I'm confused with the location of my hsv1.

I finally went to speak to someone regarding my diagnosis. He told me that I'm making too much out of the situation. He prescribed some anti-anxiety meds so I can calm my nerves. I have been overstressing about my diagnosis like crazy. My gyn called me last week and told me that she doesn't think its genital, states most likely its a fungal or bacterial infection since my symptoms have been persistent for too long so I have an appointment to see her this week. I hope she is right I really don't want it on my genital area. If I had this for years and my son just turned 3, wouldn't they have noticed it on my STD checkup while I was pregnant? I thought you're supposed to get checked out for everything while you're pregnant? The only thing that was wrong during my pregnancy was during my third trimester when the doctor said I tested positive for  bacteria and that I would need antibiotics when I'm delivering but never went into details. I just hope I don't pass this onto my son.

how did your appointment over the weekend go?

You really need to take the time to read the links you were provided.  This virus causes its own bumps.  You need to start working with your doctor on your symptoms.  Just because you may have herpes doesn't mean EVERYTHING you get is caused by it.  You need to work with your doctor about your symptoms here and I would start with a dermatologist.  My mothers face is just as sensitive.  You need to be seen we can't do anything about telling you your symptoms are caused by herpes at this point you need to be seen.  Please be seen by your provider so you can get some answers.  If they can't see you then work with another doctor or an STD clinic.

I want to know can HSV 1 give you blackheads/bumps/lesions in the face? The reason why I asked is because now I'm developing pimples and bumps in my face and on some parts of my body. My body is so sensitive especially when I put on clothes and underwear. My skin and part or my face looks as if I'm having an allergic reaction. The vaginal and lower part of my body still has the same symptoms as before; tingling, some soreness, numbness in the legs and there's no red rash or bumps. The bump that is there has been there for weeks now but never has turned red or crusted. There's also a feeling or warm fluid running through my lower body. Can a person have HSV 1 oral and genital at the same time? Please any information will be appreciated and thanks you guys for the help from before ^^^^^^^
