Do you think you may have HSV1/2?

[notsure23]

I wanted to give an update on my situation, to better inform the community and to prevent individuals like myself from going through what I have unnecessarily.  In summary:

-Made bad choices, protected sex but unprotected oral, a total of 3x
-Experienced an incredibly odd rash on the inner thigh, it blistered but healed in days.  Healed back to a "diaper rash" look.
-Became extremely sick for a week straight and lost weight.  
-Was convinced something was very wrong, was screened for HSV and was initially given the wrong test ( combined IGG/IGM).
-Experienced noticeable pain in my joints, bloodshot eyes, and general feelings of depersonalization
-Put myself through 3 months of hell, during which I convinced myself I may have contracted HIV, and or HSV.
-Tested negative for everything at the 12 week mark with the right tests.

I want you to know that unless you are literally diagnosed with a condition, it is pointless to put yourself through the anxiety driven state that I was in for months.  Even if diagnosed, you always have options.  Please take this from someone who was literally 100% sure in my mind I had either HSV1/2, based on symptoms.

Thank you for this. I hope this is the case for me.
