I would appriciate anyone's imput thanxs
This really doesn't sound like herpes since it's going away already but if you need the peace of mind you can get a type specific herpes igg blood test to see what your status is.

the breake out that i was worried about seems to be fading away....do I have to have a shown breake out on the area affected to get tested or can they test through blood???
sorry for the ignorance...how do they test for genitail herpes and how long does it take for the result to come in???
Sense its been over 7 months sense you had sex or whatever you should be able to take a herpes test & the test will pick up the antibodies. So if its postive the test will be postive. If your test is negative then your test will stay negative.
