Herpes test igg .91 at 8 weeks, PLEASE HELP!

Hi.  I'm going nuts.  I did a stupid thing an had a 1 time fling with a woman that I now TOTALLY REGRET.  No sex, just her giving me a BJ and she tried to rub her naked pelvis on my naked peter.  I know, STUPID!.  I could not go through with it, and no penetration was involved.  Now I'm having symptoms of HSV2.  Sacral nerves hurt, but no outbreaks.  My mind is totally screwed up.  Im worried about HIV exposure as well.  I just haven't felt well lately.  Could be nerves, but my lower back, butt area is killing me.  
  Went to have tests done for IGM and IGG at 8 weeks.   IGM was neg.  I have had prior HSV1 oral outbreaks.  2 times in 6 years, my mom had them as well.  My IGG was .91 neg at 8 weeks as well.  I also have a high white blood cell count.  I plan on going back in 2 months at the 4 month date to be definative.  But I am concerned that my IGG result could be higher.  I have had no outbreaks, just prior flu like signs and now this pain in my rear.
  My GP says pain in the sacral nerves is 99% caused by muscularskeletal probs, not herpes. And yet I read here alot of people suffer from the same sacral nerve pain that I do.  Please help and give me some advise. I'm truly going crazy with the .91 IGG reading.

once again, it's not likely this is herpes going on.  You've been seen and they don't think these bumps are herpes related. Herpes lesions would heal on their own even without treatment, not stick around for 8 weeks.

Don't waste your time and money on more testing for hiv and hsv. it's just not worth it. If you continue to have back pain or leg pain, follow up on that separately.

  Grace, it's just that these symptoms started right after encounter and I felt like I got hit by a brick Viral wise.  My sacral nerve pain has not gone away and I am very irritable, tired, can't sleep.  i have no lesions, but i do have sensative skin in inside of thighs when I feel like something is going on.  I have constant pain in lower back, and it feels like I am sitting on "something" when I am in my car or on a hard seat.  Is my .91 at 8 weeks a good sign, or is it that I am taking longer to seroconvert because of my HSV1 oral.
  This is killing me inside, and I would NEVER have done so now, knowing the risks.  Also, I have noticed these "bumps" on my penis head.  They are really bumps as much as they are supposedly the ends of the capillaries in my penis.  Every doctor has said this is normal, and that is NOT herpes, but I have some residual pain in my penis, and these bumps were not there before this occured.  This is freaking me out.  They are not HPV.  I plan on going back after 3 months exposure date to be retested for HIV and HSV2.  How long do I need to wait, since I have heard some take 8 months to seroconvert?

Honestly odds are this isn't herpes going on.  I'd listen to your gp's advice - it is good advice.

You don't have to worry about hiv either. Actually I wouldn't bother with any testing from this encounter.

You have a history of hsv1 orally already and hsv1 would've been the biggest risk from oral sex.  This isn't likely to be herpes going on.
