False positive? window period?
On the 21 September 2014, - I met some girl. After 2weeks, I felt itching at my penis.
So, I went for a full STD test. Test result is as follows:
2weeks- PCR(urine) herpes 1, 2 positive, M. genitalium positive
After my test result confirmed, I had extreme stress.
So, I felt pain such as itching, burning sensation etc. at whole body and
itching, inside penis.
But I have never seen ulcer, sore at my penis and oral.
Doctor gave me G-pack for M. genitalium. After time goes by, I increasingly felt extreme pain.
Doctor told me that your symptom is caused by prostatis.
So, I took medicine Quinolone Antibacterial Drug for 2weeks.
5weeks- PCR(urine): all negative(inculded hepres),
Pockit: HIV, syphilis, herpes 2 IgG negative
6weeks- Blood test: herpes 1 IgG(EIA) positive, herpes 2 IgG(EIA) negative
Doctor told me that your disease is probably Non-Bacterial Prostatitis.
So, I took medicine Cefaclor (250 mg) Capsule for 2weeks.
8weeks- PCR(urine+prostate fluid): all negative(inculded hepres)
However, I still pain less than previous pain.
Doctor told me that your disease is probably Non-Bacterial Prostatitis.
So, I took medicine Quinolone Antibacterial Drug for 4weeks.
11weeks- PCR(urine+prostate fluid): all negative(inculded hepres)
12weeks- PCR(urine+prostate fluid): all negative(inculded hepres)
- Blood test: herpes 2 IgG(EIA) negative
Nowdays, My pain is relieved than initial state. Sometimes I feel a little pain at penis, approximately 3~4times all day. Except for first test, All test showed negative for STD. Maybe, I think that I had Herpes 1 from my childhood.
1. Do I have herpes 2? My first pcr test result is real positive? or false positive?
2. Do I need further test? I saw some paper about seroconversion of herpes 2. It sometimes take a year to seroconversion. Maximum window period is really 16weeks?
3. Some people can not make antibody for herpes 2? I heard that the vaccinated some people for Hepatitis B not create antibody for Hepatitis B.
What do u think about my situation?
And I’m sorry to my poor english writing but I hope you to understand my situation.

16 weeks would be conclusive. your negative for hsv2 and positive for hsv1 and most likely its oral from childhood.
Thank u for your answer.
My igg test positive criteria is over 1.1.
My result are 4.2 for herpes 1 and below 0.2 for herpes 2. As u told me, i have herpes 1.
Im afraid of seroconversion.
The EIA test at 16weeks can perfectly confirm whether infected or not???
Do i take test at 16weeks?
In my country, western blot test can not perform for herpes, only use hiv.

Hi.
1. testing with the pcr urine is a complete waste. When pcr is performed its a swab of a sore for the herpes virus i so you can rule out any pcr urine test.
2. Your negative for hsv2 and if your hsv1 numbers were 3.5 or below, it may be a false positive.
3. no true. If a person is infected for hsv2, antibodies will show up.
