Herpes on Arm

Well this confuses me, you said you certainly cannot get HSV2 on the arm. But I do... apparently! I got swabbed because I had a small re-ocurring rash just above my elbow. It also happens around my knees. The swab was taken from my arm. It came back HSV2 positive.

I get it all the time... mainly on my legs. But it does often occur on my left arm. So what's going on?.. I have no idea how it got here but it seems to occur in quite a few places on my limbs!

you can't post on someone else's post on the std experts forum. they automatically get bumped onto a patient to patient forum when you do.
