Your rash sounds very much like a fungal (yeast) infection. Your antibody tests are negative. If you continue to be worried, you could take one final test at 16 weeks post exposure, but that probably isn't necessary.

Terri, thank you. I will try to move on with my life and listen to my doctors that, although it may take months, the nerve pain will eventually go away. Appreciate your time and advice.
I would feel comfortable relying on negative IgG and negative IgM tests, yes.

Terri, if you could just let me know your thoughts on the negative IGM test, with the negative IGG tests, I would be very appreciative. I understand that igm can produce a false positive but I am hoping that a negative igm along with two negative IGGs is a good sign that I wasn't infected. If I wasn't dealing with nerve pain from the encounter, I wouldn't even be concerned. Thank you.
Terri, thank you for your response. My doctor agreed and so did my derm that it was in fact a yeast infection. It's the continuous burning that has driven me crazy. I guess my real question is how confident can I be in the tests I have already taken. The 2nd IGG test had a slightly higher negative value at .5 and so i was really concerned about serconverting as I've seen you mention "high negatives" in the past. My dr did think that 11 weeks was enough based on the circumstances. I'm also just curious about the IGM results. Do they mean anything at all? I understand that a false positive is possible but wouldn't my first test in fact mean that i have no detectable antibodies whatsoever (IGG/IGM) and therefore risk of infection is very very low? Thank you again.
I would also just like to clarify that the bumps and rash was on the shaft of the penis as well as a red bright rash over the entire groin area. It felt like a sunburn at its worst. The nerve pain and skin irritation has been continuous over the last five months with no visible lesions.
It's negative Man U don't have it very low numbers
