Test Results Conclusive versus Recurring Symptoms ???
HSV2 Exposure - January 1 & 20th 2017
First potential outbreak = About January 20th Two itchy small red sores, seemed to have a solid white core
Symptoms - Sores scabbed over after about 2 to 3 weeks one with a scar - I picked at it.
Symptoms - Seems like I have always had at least 1 small sore ever since. All in groin area.
- April 2017 - Possibly primary outbreak with about 10 to 15 sores. Itchy, mostly had a solid white core, a couple with what appeared to look like a spider bite. With small whitehead, aka a very tiny amount of white pus and always followed by a little blood.
- Went to doctor he said he does not look like herpes, but said he has been wrong in the past. Took a swab of the sores and came back negative. Symptoms healed over time, but I seem to always have 1 or 2 sores present now, generally healing and scabbing over. The heal time seems a little quicker, then again I don;t pick at them anymore to see if it is solid white core, comparable to a blackhead/ almost wart like but definitely not a wart. Occasionally seem pus filled.
June 7, 2017 - Went and got blood drawn for every std I could. Everything came back negative, but I have random itchiness down there and usually one or two sores - this is all after 5 acts of sex with the same person. One was unprotected sex, one was latex condom, the rest were her lambskin condoms which I found out offer no protection. This woman claims she has had it for 20+ years and has never infected anyone. First time we ****** found out she was hiding she had a cold. Aka her immune symptom was down, prime time for shedding.
I guess my question is how is possible that I have recurring symptoms that replicate a herpes infection with negative blood test at 21 weeks post exposure ????
The weird part is that I had a cold sore in the inside of my mouth show up the day after I got my test as well as one that was in the middle of my lower lip. Too me that says it is obvious I have infection going on, but yet all tests igg, 2 different swabs have been negative.
I have read that after 3 months it is 90% accurate versus I have read they did studies where the igg picked up 97 out of 100 positives indicating a 97% accuracy rating. i dont have the source on hand.
Why am I still having symptoms if I supposedly have no infection ? I have been extremely paranoid, anxious, and was depressed up until I got my results back. Can these factors cause symptoms ?
I am so confused

Well 2 more sores showed up today. anus has been a touch warm and itchy here and there. Waistline a touch itchy here and there.
Reddish sores, with white somewhat solid structure that comes out and then a decent amount of blood. They always scab over.
Negative tests at 5 months 1 week. Had 2 cold sores 2 weeks on my mouth. I am just losing my mind. I don't knwo what to do anymore. I can't afford a western blot and even then I feel like these symptoms will never go away.
I finally have a woman actually wants to hang out( which is a rare thing for me) and I have been avoiding her because of my symptoms. I just don't know what to do. I really want to sue this woman that damaged me, but even then how am I supposed to prove it was her ? I have negative tests results, but magically after intercouse with her I have had symptoms and she knowingly had it. Lied to me about for nearly 3 weeks even after I asked her if she had any stds.
WOW !!!
I am just losing it. All I do in my free time now is research this virus and read everyones stories and it is driving me crazy. I jsut want to be free and not have to worry about infecting anyone.
It seems the only real hope we have is with rattional vaccines. The only live vaccine with 99% of the same DNA as the actual virus. Live vaccines have never been attempted before with HSV and that is how chickenpox and others have been handled.
Can anyone tell me what they would do if they kept having symptoms and have had 2 negative swabs with 1 negative blood test ? I don't understand this....
Why am I suffering with symptoms with negatives tests but then I flat out had a mouth cold sore. 2 of them. 2 weeks ago.
I dont know what to do ?????

Well I just don;'t understand why I have long-term and recurring type symptoms ? I want to trust the test being that my blood work was done 21 weeks post exposure. It seems like I consistently have random itching every now and then along with a tingly feeling occasionally. I want to think I am psyching myself out, but ever since this has happened I have been scared to date. The negative test and herpes like symptoms just don;t make any sense. Especially the fact that I got cold sores 2 weeks ago.
Is this something I need to tell future partners about, that I had scare with an exposure. I went and got 2 swabs and a blood test at 5 months 1 week and it's all been negative.
The symptoms just don't add up and I have been tested for STD that I could be tested for.
I read at 4 months with no prior HSV1 the IGG is about 93% and at 6 months it is also about 93%. Apparently 5 % of people don't have antibodies that show up ? Maybe that is why I am having what seems to be ongoing symptoms ?
Maybe I am just freaking myself out with paranoia and anxiety ?
I also have a rash on my left knee now, it was extremely itchy. I had two sores with pimples, admittedly this one actually does look like folliculitis because each spot was actually on a hair follicle. That hasn't been the case with the sores that randomly appear in the groin, thigh, even a couple on my buttocks cheek, 1 on my shaft and 1 on my ball sack over the last 6 months.
Just doesn't seem right because I have never had issues like this until I was exposed to this sociopathic woman.

The sores don't seem to be hsv related. The negative bloodtest and swab tests confirm this.
