Retesting tomorrow

Doing my retest tomorrow kinda nervous, i had a score of >8 about 2 months ago so I’ll understand if it still comes positive. Really hoping for the best because it’ll actually make me feel a lot better about things. If anyone can give me some hope or nice stories I’ll be grateful.

Disclosing and relationships

I think i want to break up with my boyfriend not only bc of my hsv1 diagnosis but because our relationship just doesn’t feel the same anymore. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t look at me the same anymore sadly. However i don’t know how to date anymore if i don’t disclose ill feel bad and then there won’t be a good time to disclose if things get serious. But if i do disclose on a first date i don’t know how to, many people are uneducated on this whole herpes thing.

Is Hsv 1 life changing?

I went to the doctor to do a blood test because I was sharing a vape with my friend in a couple days/weeks later I developed two bumps on my lower lip and I thought they were clogged mucus glands, cause truthfully they didn’t look like cold sores they looked more like pimples if you will. My blood test was greater than eight for HSV one and then I got a false positive for HSV two but when the doctor read me my results, she just told me I can continue everything as normal. You know have sex with my boyfriend. I really don’t need to change my life, but then me and my boyfriend started researching it and he’s gotten very scared for transmission risk and he’s more worried about him getting infected and all his friends getting infected because he had a nightmare that he woke up and there was 100 bumps on his lip. When we first found out, we were still doing everything as normal but now he wants to wear condoms when we have sex and basically does not want to kiss at all anymore. I understand his concerns as anyone would, but I feel like he’s seeing me more as a risk than a person and I feel like our whole relationship is really just falling apart. Then I freaking got moles contagiosum and I have no idea how.Help? I don’t want to feel like this

Positive HSV 1 blood test, false positive ?

So I only went to get a blood test done because I had a bump pop up on my lip and I thought it was a clogged mucus gland because I’ve gotten that before from trauma caused by burning my lip. But this one was in a different area and two of them came up and I went to urgent care, but the girl told me don’t worry they don’t look like cold sores. They just look like blisters, but I went and did the blood test anyways cause my partner wanted to confirm before we did anything I got a positive value of >8. Maybe I’m in denial or maybe I’m just hoping that it’s really not herpes but could it be a false positive? I kind of wanna get retested just for my own sanity on the bright side my partner didn’t leave me and he said we’ll get to real together, but he is very very concerned for a transmission and I feel like he kinda wants me to get on antivirals, however, when the doctor explained my results, she literally just told me I can continue everything as normal so I don’t understand

Does this look like a cold sore?

Recently got a blood test for HSV one and it came back positive >8 but is this what regular cold sores look like? I only tested because of this and now I don’t know what to do now that I have this virus, do you think a false positive was plausible? I went to urgent care and they didn’t want to swab it because they didn’t think it looked like a cold sore.
