Tested negative on western blot test, but still have some symptoms of herpes
i tested negative for herpes antibodies twice on the western blot test. once about 3 months after last sexual activity, and the second time after a year since sexual activity. yet sometimes i have itching, or a burning sensation on my genitals, and stinging when urinating. i have been tested for all other std's and came up negative. is it possible that i have herpes even after two negative western blot tests?
the odds that you have herpes and are testing negative on the WB are incredibly low.
you need to continue being seen when you have symptoms. they can do basic urine testing as well as check your prostate to look for infections causing your symptoms.

i have had a blood test at the doctor's office for syphilis, gonorhea, chlamidia, and hiv and all came up negative. my ex girlfriend informed me that she had hsv type 2, which is why i took the western blot test. just wanted to get some piece of mind, because i have heard that it is possible to test negative on the western blot if your immune system doesn't build up enough antibodies to the virus.
odds are what is going on is not due to herpes.
what other testing have you had done so far?
