HSV 12 negative

Hello I was looking for some advice since you are well trained with the herpes virus and seen many cases.  I want to know if what I am experiencing could be related to hsv-2 even though I have a negative test result at 12 weeks.  

1 unprotected sex encounter with girlfriend now ex that was never tested for anything. I tested + for Chlamydia.

2 weeks headache, night sweats, nausea, swollen lymph node under left armpit and severe itching armpits and body. My skin burned when I itched.
3 weeks - pain in left leg.  felt like a strained muscle. my legs felt weak when bending down. I had 2 really sore butt cheeks as if I got punched in both of them. They felt bruised
6-7 weeks UTI?  It felt like I was going to pee really hot urine but it didn't burn when I peed.  Also there was a pain in testicles that would come and go throughout the day.  Looked up natural ways for clearing utis, and it went away.
8 weeks burning hot scrotum and anus.  went away in 2 days or so.
9 weeks -  burning hot scrotum comes back with lots of itching.  There was a red small spot on the left side of my scrotum that stung when I took a shower and stung when walking.  This went away in 2 days or so.
10 weeks - burning urethra that went away in 2 days or so.  Slight needle stings here and there and itching.  a cactus prickly feeling moving under the base of the shaft - It only happened maybe once or twice.  
11 weeks- I had what felt like chafing under my left butt cheek.  it was 7 small pinhead size redish brown scabs all in a single file line evenly spaced.  Noticed 3 more of the same looking things on my left hip.
I never noticed any sores on shaft.  Maybe went unnoticed?
I am still having really itchy butt cheeks, under shaft, scrotum, pubic mount, and behind knees.  
I been itching everywhere on my body . It feels like bugs is biting me, making me itch.
Is 12 week negative reliable? Would hsv-2 cause all this itching below and all over?  Does this sound like hsv-2?

I hear you.  Weather changes can certainly cause skin manifestations.  Hope you are starting to feel a bit more settled.

Thanks, Terri.  No I did not take any antivirals.  The skin weather changes stood out to me.  It is winter here now so maybe I am getting dry skin.  My scalp has been pretty itchy too and I noticed dry skin flaking off.  I never gotten dry skin before due to winter but I know people due get dry skin from weather change, so maybe I am getting it too and just related it to this encounter.  The fungal stood out to me as well.  I will keep it very clean down there and see if it goes away.  I do not like using medicine as you can tell : )  I try and take a natural route.  I do not know if I will test at 16 weeks, I would hate to run a risk of a false positive and cause more confusion.  If anxiety persist then I will retest then just to be certain.  It is only 2 weeks away till 16 weeks.

I think that your test results at 12 weeks will hold and stay negative  into the 16 weeks time frame, should you wish to retest (which I'm not sure is at all ncessary

The thing about herpes symptoms is that they overlap with things that can be caused by so many other things - neurologic issues, dermatologic disorders, normal skin weather changes, bacterial skin infections, fungal infections.  Your frequent itching all over the place is far more consistent with some other skin conditions than it is with genital herpes.

Glad the burning with urination went away with natural treatment that you used.

In summary, again, I really think you don't have herpes.  I am assuming you have not used any antiviral medicine, right?

Also I have a little stinging spot under my left butt cheek now.  I do not know if it is a pimple, it is at my under where line under the butt check. When I rub my finger over it it feels like a needle sting.

I just don't get it.  It seems like my body has been acting different after this encounter. ?  I was never itching on my genitals before or my butt cheeks and butt crack.  I would have noticed because I feel awkward in public now when I do it.  I never noticed stings on my butt cheeks. I also never had burning hot scrotums.  It just seems to be too coincidental that I experienced / still experiencing such things.  Okay, I will wait for your reply.  Thank you, Terri.
