if you are seen now and they suspect herpes, they can do a lesion culture and typing.
your symptoms sound more non-herpes though and being seen today or monday will help you get a proper diagnosis and treatment so you aren't worrying needlessly!
This is correct you need 3 months to pass before an accurate test can be done. You will need to wait that long.
For your current symptoms be seen by a provider.
Grace, thanks for your answer... in order to get the test done, i have heard about window period of 3 months for conclusive results... is that true?? ..Also read my update addressing willian and throw some lights on this...please advise..
thanks william. I have tested myself and I am negative for HSV1 & 2.. The pimple that developed on my left lip is very tiny and is not very painful. Its a plain pimple without any colour in it like white, yello or green.
But i have developed another pimple next to that and its again very tiny and painless with no colour in it....
Also on my right upper thigh i have noticed something like a ringworm, its round and itchy sometimes, its been there for a week now.. Please advise !
the best thing to do is to be seen and get a proper exam if you have symptoms you are concerned about.
you had no risk for hsv2.
if you didn't already have hsv1 orally yourself, you were at risk for hsv1 genitally from the oral sex you received.
grace
What kind of pain do you have?
Did you test for herpes before?
