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

You're welcome.  :)

If you need to post more questions, start a new thread, ok?  This one is getting hard to load.

And use those condoms.

YES you can stop worrying.  You really can.

If I thought you had reason to worry, I would be honest and tell you.  I think you are really fine.  :)

I agree with Grace.

And have you gotten your hsv1 results back?  

This thread is getting too long, and is getting hard to load for some people (myself included).  Maybe we can end this thread with your negative hsv1 results?

Smegma is completely normal and yes sometimes you will produce more than at other times.  constantly looking at your manly bits to try to figure out if something is going on or not can cause the body to start producing more natural lubricant and such . Unless it's causing you a rash and constant itching, it's probably not fungal.  

If you think this is more than just normal smegma you need to see your provider. You have exhausted the possibilities of an online forum at this point john.

Smegma - and smegma is under foreskin.  If you are circumsized, you don't have foreskin.  Perhaps you have a mild fungal infection.

Yes, I am confident about herpes not being your cause.  Herpes infects nerve groups, and genital herpes infects the sacral ganglia.  You wouldn't be getting all over twitches from genital herpes.  I promise.

Good luck tomorrow - you'll be fine.

Oh ok.

Well I'd be surprised if you have herpes.  Really very surprised.  Your chances of herpes from a one time encounter are slim.
