This forum is an un-mediated, patient-to-patient forum for questions and support regarding herpes issues such as: Herpes symptoms and treatments, causes, diagnosis, and herpes in men, tests, telling your spouse or partner.
I recently went back to the doctor's office for a IgG test because I was told by a former partner that he may have HSV2 last year. I never had an official breakout but shortly after I started getting leg pain and sacral pain and the following month after coming back from vacationVacation health care I got viral meningitis. I researched and found that nerveNerve biopsy Nerve conduction velocity pain is associated with Herpes and that viral meningitis is also. I had a test done about a week or two after being told last year and it was negative but since I have done a lot of reading and found it might just not have been showing up then. I went again last week and was just told I'm HSV 1 undetectable and HSV2= 1 just 1 and my IgM is 2.01 last year the IgM was 1.86
Ok, so I read my medical record from when I was hospitalized Aug of 08 which was a month after I thought I had been exposed and a few days after coming back from vacationVacation health care and the lab results on my CSFCerebral spinal fluid (csf) collection Csf cell count Csf chemistry Csf protein test Csf total protein Glucose test - csf which was tested for both HSV1 and HSV2 and both were undetected. Would the Herpes have been detected at that time even if it was only 4weeks after exposure? I did find it very interesting that the doctors that treated me all dictated that I had been diagnosed recently through my OB/GYN office and so that it was likely a Herpatic meningitis. The interesting part of it is that I never said such a thing. I was in so much pain and didn't go into much detail except to say that I thought I might have been exposed the month before and that I had been experiencing vulvar pain, sacral pain, and leg pain but not that had been confirmed HSV by anyone. I guess I will ask my ex to get tested and see if he shows positive for it because he never got tested we just looked up the symptoms and saw that it could be related and just took it as it was due to Herpes.
A hsv2 of 1 is still negative.

You are testing negative for herpes. Odds are you really don't have it.
