    Just get a western blot test. It tends to be reliable.  Then depending upon your symthoms you can talk to your doctor about options for treatment.  for example, I am on valtrex suppressive.  There are other homeopathic methods to try as well if that's what it is.  For example christopher scipio has a really good homeopathic book on amazon.com , you know also, the herpes virus houses itself at the base of one's central nervious system, so perhaps that's why the itch.  There are many treatment options.  I know its scary, but its better to find out what it is, so you can choose the best treatment option for you.  If you need anything, I am here to help you along.  I was recently diagnosed 3 months ago, but suspect I have had the virus for at least a year already.

    I was just diagnosed with HSV 1.  I discussed the tingling on my lips, now, and the itching sensation that I am feeling.  I had a simple blood test, and the doctor says I will need to have an break out with blisters before a sample-culture can actually determine the virsus.  He says many people have HSV 1.   I am determined to have a complete diagnosis.  What is the western blot test?  Can you recommend a good doctor?  I will check out Scipio's book.  Thank you.
