A member asked:

Blood test positive for herpes type 1. doc says it's because i had chickenpox. no cold sores- no vaginal blisters. have vaginal fissures and itching.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not true: Varicella ( chicken pox ) is in the herpesvirus family, but it is not herpes simplex virus type one. Two different viruses. You have to test for varicella-zoster virus to check for immunity to chicken pox.
