HSV--just a simple curious question

[The Grey Monster]

Do you know if you have it? Does an ingrown hair have similar symptoms? Can a ingrown hair leave a scar? Is a pimple similar to an outbreak?

I searched and there is plenty of research info available here---but if you caught it,,,do you know you got it?

[Buying a *Way to Heaven]

"Most people who have herpes have no, or very mild symptoms. You may not notice mild symptoms or you may mistake them for another skin condition, such as a pimple or ingrown hair. Because of this, most people who have herpes do not know it."

Next time you might start with Google instead of asking a random assortment of promiscuous strangers on a "whore board".

Did not open your link but I'm going to assume that you quoted from it.

I wanted to ask for real life information,,,but it is a dangerous question to answer,,I'd suppose the ones that really know the answer will not reply.

You get a blood test, that would be definitive.
