A member asked:
If i tested hsv 1 positive but it is in my genital area do i consider myself to have genital herpes or just oral herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info needed: What kind of test was done? A positive blood test for HSV doesn't tell where on the body the infection is located. If you had a genital sore, blister etc that tested positive, then you have genital herpes due to HSV1.
