AKA HSV-1. I don't have any symptoms now, but in the past I had a few things that I thought could be a cold sore but I was never 100% sure that it was. Like I had a sore or pimple on the edge of my lip before; never knew what it really was I think I popped it. Then I've had sores on the inside of my mouth that resemble canker sores but Google images show 'canker sores' and 'cold sores inside of the mouth' to be very similar looking. SO I'm not sure. I've shared many drinks between people, kissed a lot of guys, smoked after sketchy people so I have to have been exposed at one point right?! I haven't had any questionable sores around/in my mouth in a long time so I don't know. So is it possible to get tested for HSV-1 with no sores showing? Is it even worth it at this point? (I'm currently dating someone with HSV-1 mouth located, we kiss a lot, I'm wondering if this is something I have already or resistant to idk!) Any help/clarification is greatly appreciated Thank You.
