Teak need your opinion
teak is 5 weeks negative reassuring. should i expect a negative result on my 12/13 week result.
I got tested at 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and at 14 weeks all negative.
Did they confirm that you have herpes? Did you do a culture or anti body blood test?
Don't worry, hang in there, you'll be fine, this is a lesson learned for all of us. I'm going to get tested Aug 2nd again, the day i'm leaving for vacation, just to get a COMPLETE CLEAR MIND.

I would jump for joy if my 3 month comes back negative. I've never been more terrified in my life.
Did you get tested at 3 months and 1 week or 3 months and again at 1 week after your 3 month mark?
Thanks for your support.

Well I know when my ONE horrible encounter of possible exposure was. I still have nightmares about the whole thing. I knew two days after that something was NOT right. I went to many docs and they thought I was CRAZY.. but I'm NOT. I contracted herpes from that MF. I felt icky and just had a feeling.
I wish I were crazy and didn't have anything at all.
I hope it's just herpes and not also HIV. That would suck. I don't know if I am strong enough to handle both of those viruses.
The nurse that did my rapid blood test, told me that this is only an eighty percent accuracy. I even asked her.. EVEN IF I haven't and don't plan on having sex with any outsiders ever again.
*sigh*

Yea, I read teaks response, and did you read mine? The counselor even told me the same thing. The reason why they say 3 months is so they can catch everyone in the window period, but people lie. People have more than one encounter or they don't know exactly when their encounter was. Don't worry, please keep us posted as to what your results are. I was in the same boat as you. I got chlamydia and thought I had everything in the book. It wasn't the case at all. I tested negative after 3 months and 1 week and if you've seen my threads I still had some doubts, but it's normal after being through something so traumatic. You'll be fine and I'm here if you need a female to understand what your going through :)
It was a one time occasion.. but if you read my message from teak.. He has seen people (many times) come up positive after 6 weeks AND those who have one time exposure.
I'm so scared.
I'm so scared.
I know 6 weeks is NOT a 100% guarantee. I just thought it was a pretty good indication of what the 12-13 week test results would be.
