Grace, thank you
for the response. I am confident my oral infection is HSV-1. Presents with classic stages: tingles, red, opens, weeps, crusts over, crusts over again, new skin, retreats. The oral sites respond to abreva as well. Out of lip, definitely not a canker sore. As mentioned, my first oral outbreak was two or three years prior to genital infection. I am confident based on symptoms I have oral hsv-1 and know for a fact based on culture of sores I have an hsv-1 genital infection.
