I am still waiting on results from my tests, but most surely I do have genital herpes.
However, now besides my lower lymph nodes being swollen, the ones in my neck are as well. Oral sex was also involved when I caught this virus, so does that mean that I also have HSV-1, or that I have HSV-2 both orally and genitally? What are the repercussions now?

MoreThis is a reply to # 373,156Swollen Lymph nodes in your neck do not necessarily indicate that you have oral herpes. The only way to confirm if you have oral herpes is if you get an oral cold sore and then to go and get it swabbed and tested.
Your genital herpes may be either HSV 1 or 2, they will tell you when you get your results. Oral herpes can also be either HSV 1 pr 2, although the most common form of oral herpes in HSV 1.
Hope this helps. -

MoreThis is a reply to # 373,156Your body has a bunch of lymph nodes.
When they are all swelling and sore that means they are fighting off the viral infection....which is a good sign.
All of my lymph nodes swelled up too...I have HSV-2....yours could be either/or/both but most likely just HSV-2.
