Dear Terri ,

My exposures

1. open mouthed kissing , tongue sucking , licking lips for long duration with two        different prostitutes

2. protected oral sex with three different prostitutes , while removing condom I assume saliva on the outerside  of condom might have touched my penis in all the three cases.

3. frottage with my penis over there panties ( thin cotton ) , id onot remember I was  wearing condom that time but prostitutes were wearing panties


now , 8 weeks after this episode no signs on my penis


after completion of 8 weeks , in nninth week I got tested for hsv-1 and hsv-2

hsv-1 IGG NEGATIVE

HSV-2 IGM NEGATIVE , IGG NEGATIVE

MY QUESTION . I KNOW I HAVE TO WAIT THREE MONTHS TO GET RELAIBLE ANSWER

BUT BASED ON MY EXPSOURES AND TEST AFTER 8 WEEKS DO YOU THINK I WILL BE NEGATIVE AFTER  3 MONTHS ALSO ,

PLEASE HELP I AM VERY WORRIED


YOU THINK TESTING AFTER THREE MONTHS WILL BE VERY MANDATORY OR I SHOULD CARRY ON WITH MY LIFE AND NOT WASTE MONEY AND ENERGY  FURHER PLEASE HELP

[Terri Warren, RN, Adult Nurse Practitioner]

Yes, you did the correct test.  It is indeed type specific.  Your sexual contacts were either very very low risk or no risk at all.  I actually don't think that you do need to retest, but if it would reassure you, then go ahead. because your experiences were so low risk, I believe you will continue to test negative.  You have made good decisions about practicing safer sex so far.  Keep it up.  Don't get overly confident because you are testing negative.  Remember, you are testing negative BECAUSE you are so careful.  Good job

Terri
