Herpes Test

[maash2281]

Hi ,

I have 2 exposure

1)  1 year before  , unprotected Oral and Protected sex
2)  8 weeks before , sucking CSW breast and swallowed something , and then she gave me a hand job

I am afraid to get herpes

can i take the below test to rule out my herpes

HSV-1&2 (Herpes Simplex Virus-1&2) - DNA detection by real time PCR using Serum will that be conclusive now?

or simply i need to take HSV-1&2 (Herpes Simplex Virus-1&2)  IgG and IgM antibody

Which test i can rule out herpes. Please help me

Your tests are negative. Your most recent exposure was 8 weeks ago and the test turned out negative. It is pretty much conclusive.
If you want to put your mind at ease go and repeat the test at the 12 week mark. It will be negative as well.

My first exposure 1 year before , 2 exposure 8 weeks before . i have tested 2 days before and came back with negative for both HSV 1/ HSV 2 , am i need to retest? or its conclusive? I never had a outbreak i believe , i got one big boil in my penis earlier ( almost 1 year) . Its conclusive ? or i did my test later for exposure 1? Please suggest me to proceed further with my life.

Confusing. Am.i need to take one more test after 3 months?  Or is this enough? Shall I move on?

It shows negative and if taken at the 3 month post exposure mark would be conclusive and no futher testing needed.

You must get the IgG type specific for HSV1 and HSV2. No other test is required or is reliable.
