I'm out of the country this week, but will answer these when I can. It isn't immediate.
Your symptoms don't sound like herpes, but bumps are always a slight concern because our definition of a bump and mine might be different. If it was oral sex only, then the risk is HSV 1. YOu test positive for HSV 1, and though you report a possible history of cold sores, it doesn't seem very certain. An antibody can't tell you where your infection is, only that you have it. If you have had it orally it is very unlikely that you will get it genitally.

A related discussion,
True or false negative pcr was started.
I can't tell you if it is a true negative or not.

Hi Terri hope ur fine
Just update on my situation I had similar bump on public hair near my penis with pain when I was touch it yellow fluid come out and the pain gone so at the same day I went to doctor and he swabbed and come negative herpes 1 and 2 pcr test
I'm confused about this I'm fraid it's false negative because when he swab the bump he took two simples one the whole bump and the other one the blood from the bump and put it in cup with a liquid inside it and send it to another country so I'm fraid that it die due the time and transportation and I read in the paper they check it after 6 days from swabbing it
Plz I want to know if it true negative or
Thanks and happy new year
Sorry for my English
Thank you very much for ur time
I will accept whatever I have and its common in the world they said its 85%
Even if it was on my genital the life is short and its only once
Thanks for ur help terri
I"m sorry, I can't interpret those test results. They are on a scale I'm not familiar with.
terri
The igm is negative for both
The igg is postive for hsv1 and the reading was 70.4 I know is different than the number you used in usa
The name of the test is elisa igg
Do you think its false positive
You said my symptoms don't sound herpetic
Thank you for your time
I would disregard any IgM test results.
Terri
Thanks
I'm just confused about it
I get pain before it's come out in my public hair and I saw 2 bumps one on penis mid shift and one on scotrum but there was no pain or warning sign before they come I mean which were on penis and scotrum only the pain was on public hair
As I said I used a cream which clear it also i read that u can't treat herpes with antibiotic or it will takes time or get worst to heal
I did both igg and igm positive hsv1 7.4 negative hsv2
This test was after a month from oral sex
All the time when I shave my public hair with penis and scotrum after 4 or 5 days I see infected hair so can this be just infected hair infection not genital herpes
Thank you and you are the best
I'm not sure what those white bumps are but they honestly don't sound herpetic to me and the come and go rather quickly for herpes. The kind of herpes that you would get from oral sex only is almost always HSV 1, not HSV 2. The rash you have had in your mouth previously could or could not have been oral herpes, hard to say.
I would try to disregard the sensations that you are describing and focus on skin changes if you can. If you get another white bump, I would encourage you to go in immediately and have it evaluated. I don't recall - have you had any testing for herpes yet?
Terri
Sorry just 2 on total one on penis mid shaft and one on scotrum painless and no itching and I didnr feel anything before they come only after 2 or 3 weeks I felt pain on the head with burning also on genital

Some day I'm ok and then it comes back
I hope you understand what I said and thanks
Sorry about my english
So I'm a little confused here. You talk about a bump in your private area, is that different than a bump on your penis? What is your private area if not your penis? Was any testing done of the bump? So did it last just one day and then went away? Are you also having sores in your mouth? I know you are doing your best to explain this to me!
What about sexual exposures? When was the last time you had sex with anyone?
Terri
You should go back to the doctor and show them everything, They have already seen it all before you!
Welcome back terri

After 5 days all of them clear it up then I felt some pain and discomfrt on groin and bladder area but nothing in penis and scotrum
After I did the test and doctor told me that I have hsv1 and after the reading in websites and checking my genital I felt the pain and burning in it and I did urine test and the doctor found some bacteria just told me drink a lot of water and its clear then after this test I did another one and it was clear from bacteria
