herpe antibodies

aj i was wondering what can cause delay of herpe antibodies to a newly infected besides if they had already had hsv-1.basically are there any factors that lead to antibodies being produced in a longer amount of time and shorter.some people develop in 3 weeks such as yourself.what may cause someone to develop them at 3 months for example.sorry if this question is slightly complicated but im just a little curious.thank you aj

Herpetic whitlow - herpes on the finger - is very painful and is usually around a fingernail.

I had a very small blister like thing on my finger tip that seemed to had just disappeared in a couple of days? does that sound like herpes.also can herpes be spread through masturbationg.if a girl masturbates me or the other way around.thank you.School is starting it will help take my mind of things.

Dude.

Is this you not obsessing?

I can't tell you what it would look like on an African American male. Mine are reddish looking, with a clear cover, for lack of a better word, but I'm a white female.

Not all labs report back with a numeric value. Some only report back with a + or a -. I also believe the biokit only reports back as + or - too.  Also the actual numeric value has no significance when it's negative anyways.  

And dahlin trust me - this is an obsession. The best possible thing you could do for yourself right now is to turn off the computer and not look or read another single thing about herpes for the next month.  Trust me - wean yourself off and you'll be glad you did.
