Does this sound like hsv2

[busch284]

Hey there, I have had all std tests come back negative but I'm having trouble getting a herpes serology test bc I've had no present sores.  But here are my symptoms since the unprotected encounter 8 months ago..it began with unusual stool movements and abdominal pain (soft, kinda diarrhea smelly, then had different colors such as white, yellow, green, black, and some blood which is still present), then started experiencing these random pink blotchy itchy skin patches on my stomach possibly hives, and tiny red dots, and shiny red itchy dots that scab over mostly on my arms.  My wasteline is the itchiest where my underwear band rests.  I then started to get testicle pain and bladder pain like a bowling ball under my belly button, the head of my penis is irritated and red with dry skin..looked almost like a shriveled skin that would peel.  My doc told me to apply tea tree oil when I then broke out with tissue paper like dry skin patch on my scrotum..then my body felt dehydrated, my eyes are really itchy and red with white discharge or clear and sticky discharge with crust when awakening...I get really fatigued, dry mouth, muscle twitching in my buttocks and legs, sorta white coated tongue, night sweats, warm feeling inside penis, sometimes itchy or burning groin, weak ejaculations, and ache in right arm pit and ache right next to base of penis vas deferent area.  I've had these symptoms for 8 months now ever since that encounter, it feels like I have a virus bc it seems when one symptom gets really bad they all flare up and bc I've been treated with suprax, cipro, candida kits, and nothing seems to be helping. So I'm wondering if this could be a prodome or some sorta hsv2 reaction to my body?

Whether your choose to be tested for herpes needs to be decided on your general sexual experiences, not the symptoms that you are having now.  We included herpes antibody testing in every STD screen that we do at our clinic.  If people are asking if they have an STD, we are definitely going to test for the most likely thing they would have, if they had an STD.  So this is your call.

Okay do you think I have any business getting the igg test done? I was told by my practitioner that I could have hsv 2 with no symptoms already due to statistics that my symptoms aren't herpes related and there is no need for a test bc it could miss lead the proper diagnosis.  What do u recommend I do? I'm just worrying myself that hsv2 has triggered these symptoms throughout my body, do u think this is possible?

None of your symptoms sound herpetic to me.  First, they are scattered all over your body (including the genital area) and genital herpes would be isolated to the area between waist and mid thigh.  Herpes doesn't normally present with bladder pain and testicular pain and it doesn't cause the skin on the head of the penis to look shriveled and peeling.  It can cause itching in the genital area, but in a specific place that is normally accompanied by a skin change (sore or blister).  

Do you know that you can order your own herpes antibody test online?  You want only type specific IgG testing, no IgM.  There are many sites that can do this for you but I like healthcheckusa.com.  If you want help interpreting your results, you can post them here for me to reviews.
