possible herpes??

I'm a male, received unprotected oral and protected vaginal twice from female. Did herpes test 4 weeks after exposure: 0.1igg for hsv1 and 0.1igg for hsv2. Experience slight tingling and burning in pubic area and inner thighs at 6 weeks (work actively outside). Slight Itching and smegma at head of penis at 8 weeks, went to doc and was told its possible balanitis/prostitis from rough masturbation and prescribed antifungal cream and cleared up.

14 weeks after exposure, one single shiny non raised nor blistering nor oozing red spot appeared on glans and does not hurt. And two bumps appeared below nose in moustache, did not ooze or was pus filled but hurt and cause one side of lip to swell

16 weeks after exposure female states she is positive for herpes 5.2igg hsv1 5.6igg hsv2. Burning felt in pubic area/inner thighs exact night and burning on side of lips (possible anxiety??)

Is it possible I contracted herpes from her?

I have not had any blisters or sores in groin area

Hi guys, just got back the results of my hSV1+2 blood test 16 weeks after exposure. 0.1igg and 0.0igg respectively. Can I now relax that I don't have HSV?

Hi guys. I'm still awaiting the results of my 12 week hsv 1 and 2 blood test. However I have been feeling a tingling/burning at the lower corner of my lip that last for about 1-3 hours and goes away but I have no blisters. I've been doing a lot of reading and seeing that some persons who have herpes do have tingling without blisters.

In an expert opinion is it possible that I still may have contracted hsv1?

Doesn't sound like herpes. Please update us on your results as 4 weeks is too early to test for it to be conclusive.

Have you had a blood test 12 weeks or more since exposure?

None of what you describe is suggestive of herpes.
