Worried about HSV/HIV please help

[Kishore_Manda]

Hello!,

Your help is greatly appreciated. I read all your posts and really appreciate your service to lot's of people in help like me.

I had protected vaginal and oral sex with two CSW (Asian and African american) 33 and 32 days back from today. Ever since then my life turned upside down. I started having body aches, cold chills after 2 days and this went on for around 14 days, the aches started going but I was weak and had cod chills constantly. Recently 12 days back I again stared getting body aches, chills, fever, feeling weak, sore throat, pain in glands below throat and cold. Visited urgent care and they prescribed me antibiotics for 10 days. I am almost done with antibiotics but still have cold chills during night, also I got jock itch kind of thing after 2-3 days of exposure (little itchy) and this still continues to happen even today (find white patches kind of thing in groin and little on testicles). Today I am feeling slight pain while urinating. Below are some of the doctor's observation

Day 2: Emergency doctor gave some shots and told that it would cure few STD's as she was not sure if I had anything but just be safe.

Day 4 after exposure : HSV IGM and IGG (HSV-1 and HSV-2) came back negative. Doctor swabbed the jock itch thing which had scars like nail marks and they are inconclusive. Prescribed acyclovir (stopped taking after 4 days after I got the results back). This proves I never had anything in the past. Before the incident happened I was a virgin

Day 26: Complete STD panel including HIV RNA TMA test and antibody 3rd generation all came back negative (10 panel test including all Syphilis, Gonorrhea, HSV-1, HSV-2, HIV antibody, HIV RNA TMA, Hepatitis A, B, C, Chlamydia).

Planning to take another complete panel after 6 weeks. I know I sound crazy as its protected sex but these symptoms are telling me otherwise.

Please help me

no

Since you help a lot of people like me. In your experience have you seen any one who was negative at 5 weeks and turned positive later.

[Life360_Dave]

Being completely negative at 5 weeks is encouraging but 8 would be a better indicator.

Got my 5 Weeks Herpes IGG results and both HSV1 and HSV 2 are negative. How accurate do you think they can be? I will go for complete panel at 6 weeks and 8 weeks to just be safe. I am still having severe cold chills(from more than 3 weeks got worse yesterday night) in the nights like I am in a freezer also I feel like having fever but the temperature is always below 98.5. discomfort while urination still persists. applying a cream doc prescribed for fungal infection.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Yes you are

[Kishore_Manda]

Visited Dermatologist and the doctor told that the thing near groin looks like fungal infection and the general physician did a urine test for urinary track infection and the results came back with nothing. General physician asked me to watch it for few days and told to call back if it gets bad. I will keep you posted about my test results in the next few weeks. Please share your thoughts if I am going in the right direction.

Thanks a lot for your answer. Your response calmed my nerves and I am feeling little better. I really appreciate people like you for taking time and helping us. Thanks a lot once again. I will update my status after my visit to dermatologist and general physician. I will also post my results at 5 and 6 weeks (though not required, I am just going to make myself feel satisfied). I will get HSV test at 5, 6 weeks and go for complete panel at 8 weeks as you suggested.

8 weeks would be a good indicator but the odds you contacted herpes from all this protected sex would not be something to be overly worried about. With protected sex, your only risk would be for herpes and syphilis. If you do a test, these would be the ones but even with syphilis she needs an open canker and you need an opening for the germs to enter. With the urethra issue, you might have injured it from the act itself.
Understand that bugs get in through the urethra opening and if this was covered nothing could get in.

Thanks a lot for your response. I started having discomfort while urinating today and little itch near penis and groin (not sure its because of jock itch). also my symptoms like cold chills and weakness are still there. I am planning to take HSV1 and 2 test again at 5 weeks and complete panel at 6 weeks. The testing website person said that herpes is 97% accurate at 4-6 weeks. Do you think if it comes across as negative, I can relax and assume I don't have anything. I am not sure how many people who tested negative at 6 weeks turned positive there after. any ideas? I am going to a dermatologist to confirm it its jock itch and to get treatment also to general physician regarding chills and pain during urination.

Thanks again for the help.

Hi, since you had protected sex there would be no risk for interior urethra irritations and you could not contract things like gono or chlamydia or trich. Your risk would be herpes from the protected vaginal but this risk would be very low esp if she did not have any genital sores at the time. Having contact chilles and such as your mentioning is not a symptom of any std. Even with first exposure to herpes the body aches would not last more than a few days. Does it appear youve contacted some std from this esp herpes? No it does not.
