Hsv 2igg is 1.25 and hsv 1is >5.00,in past i had breakout on mouth & nose,now it's on genital area,never had contact with anyone with hs2,how else is ?

HSV: Hi, IgG means you have been exposed to the virus before and it usually doesn't mean acute infection, the best way is to get a sample of the lesion on ur genital and send for PCR.

I have genital hsv 1 & never get cold sores. A man I dated says he now has a blister on his lip. Can it be spread through kissing? He did NOT give me oral sex. I gave him oral but there was zero genital-genital contact. Does my mouth carry the virus?
If I have a one week breakout of herpes are the chances that it's hsv 1 on the genitals?
If one has hsv 2 igg value of 23 is he/she protected from spreading the virus to other parts of the body by touching the sore and then accidentally touching nose, mouth or eyes? What if the person is immuno compromised otherwise?
Conflicting info online on HSV-1 - some say its only transferred through direct mouth to genital contact, others say touching cold sore on another person's lip then touching your own genitals also transfers it. Is it both or is it direct contact only?
How likely am I to get hsv 1 orally after being in contact with a cold sore if I already have hsv 1 genitally? I took Valtrex (2 doses/3 days) after being exposed to someone with it on the lip?
