Postive IgG Herpes & Negative IgM herpes? What does that mean?

Dear Doctor,

I had sex with unknown lady a little more than 1 month back. And condom broke while we were having sex.
And then while returning to country, I felt like a tingling and burning while urination adn a samll yellowish liquid coming out of my penis.
I did test for HIV, Clamydia, Gonoreah, Urine tests which all proved negative.
I had test for Herpes then I got these results : IgG = 2.83, IgM = 0.52.
I have no blisters, no cuttings, but i feel like there is a little pain in the testicules and i feel a burning sensation after i go to pee.

What I want to know is whether I have got infected with Herpes? Also I want to know the meaning of the results?
Is there any possible cure if I am Herpes contaminated? If not is it in the near future?
Also I wanted to know whether these tests are reliable or not? Or are there any other tests which I should do?

I am so worried. I kindly ask for you help and advise.

You had your blood testing done too early from this encounter.

do you know if those are just hsv2 results you posted or combined hsv1&2 results?

They said that it must be due to no proper sleeping posture or simply the pain is due to me stressing too much.
Even the heat i am feeling inside my stomach, they told me its due to me stressing about the problem.

Dear Grace,

I thank you again for all your effort and support.

I will be needing one more help from you though.

I did the test 28 days approx after encounter. Do you think it is quite reliable?
Also i did a M.E.I.A test on automated AXSYM.

I still have pain in my neck.
And still ahve this warm feeling inside my chest and belly.

Is the test reliable enough?

Thank you Grace

the odds that you contracted hiv from this encounter are incredibly low.

continue to follow up on symptoms as needed with your provider.

Dear Grace,

There are other things thats happening to me and I thought you might help me deal and understand.

Recently I had some flue-like symptoms.
I went to my doctor who perscribed me Claradol 500 and Aerius tablets.
I also told him I was continuing to get some clear fluid ( little ) discharge from my penis and burning sensation after urination.
He gave me injection of Rosephin 500.

Its been 2 days now and there is still clear discharge from my penis. And I am also having the burning sensation after pee.
Now my low abs are burning a lot.
I am taking A LOT of water as the doctor told me and going to pee regularly.

I am very confused and worried. Is this a sign of HIV?
I often feel a sense of burning on my face and lips and nose. It is the beginning of winter here in my country and feels at times a little chilled.

Now furthermore, I notice some very tiny red dots inside my penis head. ( when i open the lips ).
I am still having loose stools( been 2 weeks ).  My penis feels warm as my lower abs too. And I feel uncomfortable with my penis and testicules.
Is this a sign of HIV? Or something else? Herpes?
Please help me Grace.
I am so worried and tensed because of this.

you don't sound like herpes is the cause of your symptoms. follow up with your provider for your pain and dizziness.

Grace,

My neck and trapez is still paining a lot. And I still feel a little bit dizzy.

Maybe I should wait for some time and see whether the symptoms do appear. Then I can do the test for true diagnosis.

Can it be possible that the results they gave me are not correct?

Thanking you for yout very esteemed attention

sounds like you picked up something that is making you sick though the antibiotics you had might be behind the loose stools.

like I said, doesn't sound like herpes going on. follow up on your continued symptoms with your provider.

Then what does the result really mean?

I am also feeling a bit drowsy and my eyes have become only a little bit red with very little blurred vision and i am like tired.
I am also feeling pain on my neck and trapez.
I also have loose stools and still little clear penis discharge.
But still i have no outbreaks or lesions or anything like what i saw on the internet.
Do you think thats Herpes? Oy maybe its only in my mind?

thank you

you probably had a non-type specific test done then.

at this point you need to call your provider monday and make an appointment to be seen again. get examined again and some testing done again to try to figure out what is causing your symptoms. they do not sound like herpes.

Grace,

I dont know which test exatly they did.

Name of the test : HERPES
Method : ELISA

Is this test really identifying whether I have Herpes or not?

Another thing I wanted to clear out. Is ther any thing that could prove the test to be false?
Or maybe if i consume things with much IgG, then do you think that prove the results to be positive?
I am taking some protein supplements and surprisingly I found that it containes IgG.

I read on forums that there are outbreaks...etc! What are the first symptoms of outbreak? I have had none for the moment. Only burning sensation after pee and in anus. And a little pain on my lower abs. And still a little tingling sensation on the tip of my penis head when i press it.

What should I do? Or what do you recommend me to do?
I need your help Grace.

Thanking you

Hi dear,

Thank you for your quick reply. I really appreciate that.

I dont know which test was that. It is only called " HERPES " and the method is "ELISA".

I forgot to mention that I had pale yellowish discharge from my penis in the beginning. Talked to my doctor who told me it was only gonoreah symptoms and prescribed me anti biotics. Then the yellowish discharge vanished but i still feel burning sensation, mostly after i pee.
I also feel burning sensation in my anus when i go to toilet.

But i still have little but clear discharge from my penis.

If further test is required, which tests should i do?


Thanking you in advance,

No cure for viruses/herpes that I know of.

what HSV was the test result for? 1 or 2 or both?

Grace knows how to interpret these tests, but generally the IgM are worthless and your igg would put you as a low negative and could mean you were exposed a month ago, or ten years ago.

I have not heard of yellow discharge as a symptom of herpes, you may want to go back for further testing.
