Affected By Herpes Type 1, Having Cold Sore On Lips. Any Test To Check Having Genital Herpes?
recently I have found I have herpes type 1, It has mentally affected me so much, I can barely live, I can t stop crying, I had cold sores on my lip several times and I am afraid if I would have herpes type 1 on my genital and anal as well, how can I find out I don t have herpes type 1 on my genital and anal? Is there any specific test which I could ask my gynecologist to do for me to clarify it?
