A member asked:
A friend in 70s says that her hsv2 sore is not healing and continuing to stay as a sore for more than 3 months. she thinks that is happening because she my be becoming immunocompromised? is that possible assuming she is immunocompromised?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is imperative that she see a doctor to ascertain the actual nature of the sore. A non-healing ulcer warrants exclusion of a tumor. Changes in her immune status notwithstanding, she may need to have the lesion removed and have the tissue examined by a pathologist.

Is exposure to HSV2 different than contraction of HSV2? An APRN told me that positive blood tests only confirms exposure to HSV, but not necessarily that you have HSV2. Is this true? She also said only 100% accurate test is culture test of sore/lesio?
