Herpes test wrong

Hi I’m sick everyday over finding out I have this. I check my self everyday and I scared to be around people. I would have never know I had herpes 1 in the Genital if I hadn’t gone to doctors for my hemrroid. That’s what I thought was the problem. She said you can get a fixzier from a hemooird but she said I will take a sample by swab. Then the call came. I can’t believe this. All I do is read about it and think about it. I’m driving myself crazy. I itch all over. Can I get blisters anywhere on my body. I mec but she said to use it if I’m feeling a OB. I feel like I’m having one everyday.

If one had a choose from the hsv lottery which strain they would get, I can bet over 80% would say genital HSV1. Why? It sheds less than HSV2.  Outbreaks tend to taper off, some don’t have any outbreaks after the first one. I think it’s been documented a few times, if that, to have been passed from intercourse. And on top of that, 60%+ have HSV1. It’s shocking yes but it’s going to be okay. Read up on it. Learn what you can. It’s not so scary.
