Igg test at 6 weeks

[Mmmm26]

On jan 6 I had sex with friend she had been tested for stds 5 months before our encounter and was negative for stds but her doctor did not test her for herpes. the next morning I felt a tingling sensation in my penis.  After 1 week I go to the ER and was tested and treated for gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis. All test came back negative but I did test positive for a Bacteria that ER said it looks like a UTI. After medication ran out I felt no better I went back to ER got urine retested had no sign of UTI and then dr gave me flagyl. I felt back to normal. Then after a week feeling came back. So I then wait until my doctor could see me and I requested to be tested for herpes. I went and took test results were negative for hsv 1 and Hsv 2 and doctor said no further testing needed. From then every once in a while I still get tingle sensation never an outbreak I've had a rash but dermatologist and urologist and regular doctor said it does not look like herpes. The rash never hurts it's only on penis tip by the rim of penis. The tingle feeling is under the rim and at top of penis head and on underside where veins are.  My partner retested and said test for everything and which came back negative except she was diagnosed with bacterial vaginitis (not trichomoniasis). However her doctor did not test for herpes again.I would like to know
1. How accurate are Igg blood test at 6 weeks.
2. Are tingling sensations that do not result in outbreaks a symptom of herpes.
Also I'm guessing she would be asymptomatic if she is hsv positive as well there was no outbreak during our encounter.

You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that the large majority of repeat threads by the same user are about the same exposure and I assume the same.

My original reply is still accurate, even though the exposure was genital.

First thanks for the help however this is a new partner than the one in the other thread which is why I created a new thread. I apologize if I did it wrong.

Your other thread speaks about an oral sex exposure and I thought that was still your main concern. Anyway, this doesn't change my opinion or advice. The risk of HSV from any single sexual exposure, vaginal or oral, is very low, and in this case zero since your partner had a negative test for HSV2 (I think I recall from the other thread). And genital HSV1 is rarely if ever transmitted by vaginal sex.

This is a good example why we recommend sticking with one thread and not asking new questions about the same exposures, testing history, etc. Responders shouldn't have to look at multiple threads to understand a question, and even when they do, they sometimes miss something -- just as I did. A follow-up question in your other thread would have been better.

Anyway, no significant risk, no worries, and I see no need for additional testing. But that's up to you if you need still more reassurance from another negative result.

This was not oral sex on jan6 it was vaginal sex

As you were told in an earlier thread, there was virtually no risk of herpes from a single oral sex exposure. Your symptoms do not suggest herpes, and most experts would not have recommended you be tested for it. Herpes oubreaks may tingle, but never as the only symptom and rarely in the urethra.

Your negative test at 6 weeks is probably about 80% reliable. If despite the overwhelming evidence you already have you feel you need a still more reliable test, have another one at 3-4 months. It will remain negative.
