My Herpes Diagnosis

[hermanto]

okhay, i have been browsing almost all internet looking for some answer. Anyone could help me out since I'm really depressed right now.

so here is my story:

-Last month and two week ago exactly, i had a unprotected Oral sex. after that no sex exposure till today.

-Last week my penis head begin to show red dots. it doesn't itch or pain.
i went to the doctor, he  sad it is herpes. the doctor gave acyclovir 200mg and i consume it till now. and get blood test.

-Today the blood test came back with this result:
VDRL (-)
TPHA (-)
Herpes I:
IGG 0.25 (-)
IGM 0.82 (-)
Herpes II:
IGG 0.28 (-)
IGM 0.34 (-)
My red dot still there and there is a dot with white head in the opening of the urinary hole on the top of my penis. and it is doesn't not itch or pain.

any opinion? or experience to share with me?? pleasee it might make more easy to go thru this.

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

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.

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.

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

[hermanto]

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.

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?

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???

[gracefromHHP]

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