Don't assume anything with doctors. There is something not quite right in all you are saying. Please get tested again. You do not want to be taking meds unnecessarily or disclosing something that isn't correct, do you?

Have you only been diagnosed visually? If so you need a blood test straight away to confirm. You should not be taking daily antivirals without a confirmed diagnosis.
Being HSV1 can make a big difference. First, you probably do not need daily meds if this is the case. Second, it is likely that a partner will already have HSV1 and not become infected any further given the immunity.

But how was it confirmed? If you've never had another outbreak perhaps it's HSV1? What do your blood tests reveal?

I think you should reconfirm your diagnosis. How were you diagnosed was it accurately determined to be HSV1 or HSV2?
