Someone advise me please

Hi i would appreciate some advise. Sorry for the long story but here goes, i had a lot risky sex 1 year ago and had a lot if health issues but all tests came back negative. I took an igg test at past 6 months also negative. I then had protected sex one time with a man then started to get continuous burning it itching in the genital area. The doctor said it was not herpes as i never got an lumps sores etc. It all stop completely after 2 months. 6 months after that i got another herpes blood test but even tho i asked for type specific igg theyust of done igm because the results just said positive for herpes virus but not which type and no number values. My doctor is as confused as me. I have oral hsv1 since childhood so new that would be positive. Where i live it was the only place offering the blood test and now i still don't know if i have genital herpes and don't have money to test again. Can someone please give there opinion on this. I've never had lumps lesions or sores but i known it can be asymmetamatic. thanks

The IgG test is available everywhere an IgM is. All doctors have this test documented in their manuals and can order from any pathology lab.

There is no reason to suspect you have genital herpes. The symptoms do not align.

The igg test is not available where i live. What are the chances i got hsv2 after 1 protected sex but that its asymptomatic. The igg i got was an online one that was taken 6+ months past unprotected sex and 7 weeks after the condom protected sex. Would the 7 weeks give any indication at all? I've never had a blister or lesion to do a culture on. Why I'm worried about herpes is i had vaginal burning and itching and also in thighs that was continuous for a few weeks

It's pretty safe to say the test popped pos for your hsv1 oral infection. When you can afford another test get one. Just test igg for hsv2 as you know you have hsv1 orally.
