did they do any lesion cultures for herpes on your symptoms or just the blood tests?

Just blood test, no lesion cultures. the doctor just drop the vonis it is herpes. and i consume acyclovir for a week. and the red dot still there.

how long do we need to take the acyclovir and the symptoms going to fade away???

this doesn't sound like herpes going on.  follow up monday with your provider for a further evaluation.

When was the last time you had actual sex prior to your testing?

about 1 month and one week, before the blood test.

today the little white puss has errupt and leave no pain, but the red dot still there. just the bigger one, about 2mm but no water inside it. just tiny red dot.

how long does the herpes grow from red dots to blister?

today i'm going to see the doctor again.

[gracefromHHP]

many folks never get actual blisters. going to be seen is the best course of action.

Hello grace,

it's been 1 month from the red dots appearing on my penis head,

i went to another docter, he said i might be herpes, so i need to take test 3 month after exposure. so now I'm waiting for that date to come and test.

And then he gave me some drugs, i forget the capsule drugs name. but there is an ointment. i think the ointment do the miracle.

After I apply the ointment, the red dots and rash seems to be disapeear in just about one day. but few days later it will comeback, if i stop the ointmnet.

The red dots sometimes appear in the morning, and by the evening it's gone, and it might come again few days later. (same spot) but if I apply the ointment it will dissapear. my penis head turns whitish / greyish if ointment applied.

still there is no itch, pain, tingling .. etc.

The ointment is white colour and cool when it is applied.

Now I'm waiting for the date to take the blood test.

If an OB show in a rash form, how long it will last? one month?? or one week??


Waiting for your answer grace.

It's been three months and half month after possible herpes breach. actually i want to wait for full four month, but anxiety is killing me.

I get blood test.

here's the result:

HSV1:
IGG: 0.06 -> Negative
IGM: 0.08 -> Negative

HSV2:
IGG: 0.52 -> Negative
IGM: 0.16 -> Negative

Negative: <0.8
Borderline: 0.8 <= Ratio = 1.1

It's says all negative, is it now I'm can release my anxiety away?
Is it possible the HSV-2 IGG raise to positive?? the value is higher than previous test.

I have been stay away from any sexual activity since the last possible exposure.


Thanks.

it's not likely you have herpes. I wouldn't bother with any further testing either.
