Didn’t think I’d be back. But my anxiety does tend to get the better of me in this area and I’m sure some here maybe able to relate. So it’s been over a mouth, but I went out with a woman and we kissed after a date. She neglected to tell me prior she has both HSV1 and HSV2 which needless to say was disheartening. She said she currently didn’t have an active infection (no lesions) and was on antivirals. I can’t say I noticed anything out of the ordinary at the time. A month rolls by and I both burn the roof of my mouth on potatoes and around the same day get my covid and vaccine and flu shot. (Not that, that has anything realistically to do with the shot, but hey immune responses can be strange). At this time I get a sore on the roof of my mouth that’s patch of red with some white. I’ve never had a cold sore in my life nor any visible HSV symptoms, but my first reaction is to of course get nervous I may have HSV. So I went in and a PCA says it doesn’t look like HSV. I decided that’s not good enough as I’ve admittedly lost sleep over this, I go to another doctor within the same week with the sore still present and looking the same. He also says it does not look like HSV but does a PCR test at my request which is negative. Given what I’ve described here, am I ok to take that at face value as I am indeed negative and rest easy? Or is there any other cause for concern? I’d imagine I’m overthinking this to say the least. But given my recent experience with other issues in the same realm it’s got me extremely anxious. I just want to make sure I’ve done the right thing here. 

Thanks again for all you help.
