igg test result
On mid Feb, I having red dot rash itchy with a bit pain on my pen*s head n tips n foreskin surrounding. Then it spread throughout the whole foreskin turning red like been burn after i try rub it alcohol. Was treated with cream n anti-fungal medicine by my GP. Seems works n recovery after a week but now after around 2 week from recovery the itching returns n I saw red dots coming back. First occur after having sex 1 weeks b4. Any opinions on this.?
Due to above scenario, I got worry n go for blood test at nearby LAB little more than 2 months after the sexual encounter. Just got the result HIV negative but got result for HSV-1 igg = 1.59 n HSV-2 igg = 1.01. The doctor told me nothing to worry about HSV-2 after I confirm that I got cold sores on my lips since I was kid. The doctor claims since I have HSV-1 the result on HSV-2 sure affected. There no visible lesion on my genital area until now. Probably false positive since so low result as been told by the doctor. Is this true, share your thoughts.

My red dots have turn into pinkish bumps under the foreskin. Any ideas?
Thanks for the tips.
does this sound like a genital herpes issue? no it does not. sounds like a fungal issue as well as irritation. never, ever use alcohol on your delicate genital skin!! it dries it out, irritates it and also disrupts your natural flora to allow for the over growth of yeast/fungus :(
you tested too early. depending on the hiv test you had done, it was too early for that too. you can check in the hiv prevention forum to see if the test you had done was accurate yet or not.
so what do you do now? well I'd wait another 2 months at this point and repeat your hsv2 igg blood test at that time. why 2 months? because depending on the test, depends on the accuracy at the 3 month mark so since you already tested too early, worth waiting another 2 months to test again.

Hi, yes the doctor is correct in regards to hsv2 as most likely a false positive. You would need to retest for this to confirm. Wait another months to rule out it is a new infection.
