Answer:
If you got a positive result from a swab I would consider that a reliable test result.

The symptom you are describing is a common one that comes with hsv. You are lucky if that is the only symptom you experience.

Are you pregnant now?

Answer:
A positive swab result is usually correct, but there's always a chance for a false positive.

If by getting tested for herpes twice you mean you got type-specific blood tests, then I would go with the negative result.

Answer:
I understand that a positive swab is difficult to obtain because all factors must be present. The virus is apparently difficult to culture in a lab and this is why the test is considered to be very reliable if "positive."

The blood tests on the other hand commonly have negative results when the patient actually has been infected. It comes down to detecting antibodies in the blood. There is quite a bit involved in antibody production.

Answer:
