Hello. I get tested for HSV every year. Each time it only comes back as HSV1 ( through quest). I suspect it could be from when I was a kid. The number is quite high.

However, I have never had an OB that I know of and no partner had ever contacted me saying they ever got it (I’m 39 now). Never had a blister or bump. However, sometimes I get a small numbness/ tingle on my lip, but as hard as I look there is no bump and the feeling goes Away in a few days.

I ask drs how to know if I’m having an OB and they say there is no way to know if the sensation is herpes or not. Does anyone on here have hsv1 but never get an OB? How do you go about handling having herpes but no clear sign where it’s at or when it’s active ? Thanks
