Thanks. In that case can you guide/specify test names for identifying type of herpes. What exactly number/value indicates.

I have done earlier blood test 12 weeks/3 months mark. I will do another test exclusively for herpes.

I am also worried as HIV test at 12 weeks negative, also all other STD's are negative except HSV igG (positive). then what exactly reason behind the symptoms i had and currently i have.

you had the wrong herpes testing done :(  You had non-type specific testing done which is pretty much a waste of time and money :(  

wait until 3 months post encounter and repeat your herpes igg blood testing. make sure your provider orders the right testing - type specific and absolutely no igm testing for herpes either.

none of your symptoms are due to herpes.

it was herps testing with blood test but there was no numeric result like you mentioned above. it was just HSV 1/2 igG - positive, HSV 1/2 igM - negative.

List of symptoms from 2 nd week after exposure are fatigue, tingling in fingers & lips, diarrhea, soar throat for 1-2 months, fever (1 week), malaise feeling, mouth ulcers etc

Ongoing symptoms are diarrhea, tingling, uneasy feeling. Also sometimes cold. No rash, no ulcers on genitals and mouth.

what herpes testing did you have done?  if it was blood testing, can you post the actual numeric results - e.g. hsv1 igg 5.3 and hsv2 igg 3.9 or whatever they are?
