exposure and symptoms

I received oral sex from CSW.

Day 3 - Pulsing throbbing sensation in the lower right abdomen.

Day 8 - throbbing  dull ache in the right testicles with tingling sensation in the penis head. (continued for a week).

week 4 - mild thorbbing dull ache in the right testicles with rare tingling sensation in the penis head.

"I  never had sores, lesions in the penis."

week -6  I had a red colored pin head sized bump on right arm and on the stomach with no pain.

week - 7 - I got 2 new blisters in lower lip (I never had this recently for the past 3 years,  I have had the same kind of blisters during boyhood days)

week 9 - pin head sized red colored bump started healing and also the blisters in the lips also started healing.

when i posted this symptomps in the forum, i got a reply that these are not symptomps of herpes and i thought it may be coincidence.

when i kept reading the old archive in the forum, i got this thread.

now my school of thoughts are, my symptopms are coincidnece. because already sacreadandtired also got the same symptomps after an exposure to unprotected oral sex.


is this some thing asymptomatic herpes. I just received an oral sex for a minute. i'm not going with symptomps in the internet. i want to get it clarified with you .
I'm upset that i cannot lead a married life.

the person who started thread also not posted any thing after his last message.

please grace, can you please help me with this.

I have decided to do type Specific IGg test after three months.

can some one pleasel advice on symptoms after the exposure.

Also first time i came across a thread and i could see one more person having symptoms as me.


grace, it would be of great help. if you evaluate my symptomps.

we respond to each person's situation personally. what applies to one situation, doesn't always apply to another. I'm not going to read other posts that you've found, I'll read about your own situation and apply to that even though you've posted previously about it and received an answer.

You've had a history of mouth sores in the past. Not sure from your description if it's hsv1 orally going on or not but if you had oral herpes as a boy, you still have it and you can still have recurrences of it even if it's been awhile. These are not new mouth symptoms for you so really no reason to worry about them.

Nothing you've mentioned sounds like genital herpes going on. Hsv1 is the biggest herpes risk from receiving oral sex and if you already have that orally, it's incredibly unlikely that you'd contract it genitally from oral sex later on.

have you ever been tested for herpes before to know your own status?

hi grace,

i could see your comments that you cant comment about the test results of hsv type 1 and 2 antibodies igG done outside of USA.

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Herpes/Herpes-result-make-me-confuse/show/1519095

may i know the reason. i do understand that igM will not help us in anyways.
but hsv 1 and 2 antibodies igG should be the same across the world right.
they gonna look for the antibodies for these hsv viruses and give the amount of the antibodies in values.

if that is the case,  please correct me if i'm wrong. it should be the same across the world.


1) Herpes Simplex Type 1 IGG (gG) = 2894 units/ml
2) Herpes Simplex Type 2 IGG (gG) = 108 units/ml


i guess here the values given per ml (milliliter of blood). if we convert these values in the liter. the values would be like this.



1) Herpes Simplex Type 1 IGG (gG) = 2.9

2) Herpes Simplex Type 2 IGG (gG) = 0.12

i have seen the values given in decimals in some threads. if a person a values like above from test done in USA. what would be your comments.

this is just to gain knowledge, please correct if i'm wrong in my approach. by commenting about the other threads and their values.

thanks.

yes, i could have saved money by choosing hsv2 alone.  i thought of looking at the values of the both. just for the sake of knowledge. :) like you.


i saved money and confusing by avoiding igM. i really wonder how come most of the lab technician is not aware of the name of the test.
if i say them herpeselect or captia they dont know what it is.
if i tell them herpes 1 and 2 antibodies igM/igG. they say ahh,,.
Its good that i met the herpes geek here.
i would get the results on monday, i keep you updated.

btw, grace, if a person do herpes 1 and 2 igG/igM. can we do a accurate diagnosis just by looking at the igG values and ignoring igM values.

yes the herpeselect is a type specific igg blood test.

you really could've saved momey and just got hsv2 igg testing since you already know you have hsv1 orally.

sorry if above my post is not clear.

basically,

is HerpeSelect typespecific = HSV type 1 and 2 antibodies igG/IgM.

if igM has false results, shall we ignore igM from the results and only consider igG..

i have requested the lab technician to perform only hsv type 1 and 2 antibodies igG. because they are unaware of the name captica and herpeselect.

thanks.

hi grace,

just a clarification about the type of test to be done.

yesterday i went to my provider to show a tiny pus pilled  bump in my inner thigh,
he examined that and said that it is follicular infection.  

i asked him to write for herpes blood test.

he prescribed hsv 1 and 2 igG/igM - As i know that igM results are not reliable. i told him.
he said that he can find it from igG results.

if they do the above mentioned test.
shall i consider the test as herpes type-specific igG as it has igG written by the doctor.

when i went to the lab, i asked them to do igG alone NOT igM. the pathologist agreed.
i also told her about the captia test for herpes.she said she is not aware of that.
what they do is herpes antibodies test for type 1 and 2.
today evening i will be getting the results. i keep you posted.
can you please let me know, will these test results help me to find out my status.

thanks :) for making me to deal the situation with a calm attitude.
