call and get exact test results if it was blood testing. write them down to post here - e.g. hsv1 igg 7.9 and hsv2 igg 3.4 or whatever they are.
Hey Grace, so the test came back and I was positive for HSV2. I never saw the results so I dont have any numbers they just told me over the phone. Anyway this is been extremely hard to handle on my own but I just had one question I was wondering if you could answer? How long does a swollen lymph node normally last for. My sore is almost healed and the lymph node is still a bit swollen.. is that normal?
Thank you for all your help by the way I have no one to talk to about this so it is much appreciated
testing needs to be done at the times I listed to be accurate.
chlamydia and gonorrhea are your biggest risks. wait for test results and try to keep busy so you don't fixate on your genital area.
I believe they tested for hiv, herpes, chlamydia and Gonorrhea. Maybe some others I'm not exactly sure, like I said the doctor was very short with me and offered pretty much zero information other than a useless packet on herpes.
Thank you so much for all your help I don't know what else to do
I had a urine test, as well as a blood test. I do not have the results yet.
The sore seems to be pretty healed now. And I stopped using the creams although i felt good using them. There is still an itchy sensation down there but there is also some achy ness in my left ball..? I might just be freaking myself out into thinking these are new symptoms because this is all I can think about.
I am very worried about hiv, and this whole situation is causing me insane amounts of anxiety.
what testing did you have done yesterday?
I just got tested yesterday so I am waiting on results. But although my scrotum is itchy there is still an area of rash on the the left base of my penis, and my lymph node on the left side is still sort of swollen. Is there any hope that it is not herpes. My doctor said he was 70% sure it was herpes, which really doesn't help me to understand at all what is going on other than make me worry even more.
since you had unprotected sex, did you get tested for any std's? youc an get tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trich and ngu after 1 week post encounter. syphilis after 6 weeks. herpes, hiv and hepatitis after 3 months.
blood testing now for herpes is too early.
usually an itchy scrotum is due to jock it, not herpes.
Also my scrotum has been very itchy. I might just be overly anxious about this as well though..
I just now saw this. But I went to the doctor today. He said he was 70% sure it was herpes, although he was very short and non conclusive. Im really freaking out.
I ended up puting on the clotrimazole and triamcinolone on it and it actually made it feel better.. its almost healed now.
I had a blood test taked how sure can I be that it is conclusive, also, does this sounds like i should be worried about anything else. HIV specifically?
you really need to be seen promptly and have this looked at. you've already put it off too long :(
could this be herpes? it could be but also many other things it can be.
I wouldn't apply any topical steroid cream to this either - if it is herpes, it will just make it worse.

Oh my doctor prescribed me Clotrimazole and Triamcinolone for the Fungus, I also have a topical steroid creme for the rash like thing on my pant line. I dont know if that helps considering this rash looks different. Thanks again
