Can shingles be misdiagnosed?
Yes. Its possible. But that's what "second opinions" are for. Make an appointment with a new doctor, have new tests done and get second set of results. ~ T I would definitely say yes. I have had cold sores my whole life, though I rarely get them, unlike my mother, two sister, and my neice who get them on a regular basis. I had a blood test because of an infection and they told me I had both types of the herpes virus. I am now 27 and have been sexually active since the age of 18. To this day, I have never had an "outbreak" let alone sore bumps in or around my vaginal area. So unless, I am like a carrier or something, I do believe I was misdiagnosed.Yes. Medical diagnosis is more of an art than a science, and errors are always possible. That said, it's generally pretty accurate.

There are various kinds of herpes you can get but the most common ones are hsv-1 oral herpes and hsv-2 genital herpes. This virus is transferred by skin to skin touching.

Since the condom does not cover the pubic area where more then likely where the virus will be at. The same goes for hsv 1, if you kiss someone who has it then you might just get it.

The STD counselor on a Herpes support site herpesmate.com said herpes doesn't live outside the body for long..and you can not catch it from inanimate objects in a VERY RARE case if someone with herpes uses a towel after the shower and rubs enough of the "virus" off and someone uses it immediately after there is a VERY slim chance of them getting is since the towel is still damp.. but that would be a very rare occurrence.
