How accurate is the igg blood test when picking up HSV2? I will be having a blood test next week which will be 12 weeks post exposure, how confident in the result can I be? I know it may miss hav1, do changes in the index values mean anything?
The itching/burning is still present around the genitals/anus 2 months since although it is slightly better, is it common for symptoms to last this long? As it affects the nerves could it remain there longer than, a couple of weeks? All other std checks coming back negative so struggling to understand.
I had a IGG blood test but it was done at 5 1/2 weeks post first encounter with partner 1, 4 weeks after 2nd partner so was too soon, this did come back as negative for both but not sure on the reliability of those being so early. I am scheduled for another this week which would be 11 weeks since partner1 and 9 weeks since partner 2.
With regards to the lip tingling/burning, does it always result in lesions? I had several small cuts during this time?
Is it possible to get herpes orally and genitally during the same encounter?
Thanks
You could have an outbreak anywhere in the boxer shorts region. That being said i do not suspect hsv. Sounds more like a fissure. I would get it looked at for a proper diagnosis
No, itching is not accurate for a herpes primary outbreak. Chances are the first thing you would notice is lesions forming. Your being unwell and swollen lymph nodes in your neck are not a symptom of hsv genital infection.
