Genital herpes?
Hey people, I have had a risky encounter I suppose I didnt think it was but then after kissing and being given oral sex without condom I got a cold sore in my mouth, few days after the sex. Do I also have it genitally I shaved my genitals but not with a razor but. Electric shaver did not develop any obvious genital symptoms apart from ithcing and and some burning but I think those were snxiety, and I still get them, what do you think

I have those kind of things after rough intercourse or masturbation even on my penis head, herpes isnt correlated with the amount of sex you have. You are no different than worndown I know there is that voice in your head that doesnt leave you and at a point you ask yourself Do I actually wan this disease? Given that we are so eager to find out, for the past months We could have chosen to live life not knowing all this info and herpes or not (most likle not) it would have been better right? I personally have to lose all this 25 pounds even I dont have anything and at least you guys didnt have a very suspicious miouth sore like me.regardless best wishes.
I dont know if it is more accurate I dont mean to specualte and confuse people I am asking and not knowing this as much as you do. I will try it formyself.
17 weeks negative, with no sores? I think your fine! The only reason i'm so hung up on this is because I am having sores, but they are not blister-like or ulcerative.. more like rashing and some red raised bumps following sex, which completely heal in 3 to 4 days. Could be a product of my "crotch watching" as Grace puts it. Regardless, I think congrats are in order for you Worndown. Mine was 12 weeks post and I felt great until the marks came back. At 17 weeks asymptomatic i'd put it behind me and thank the stars.
So confusing! Why do they always suggest the type specific if the nonspecific is more sensitive??? I guess i will do the same. So far i'm low negative with the type specific testing at 17 weeks. No typical sores, but I do have other symptoms. Currently im really sick and always thought herpes sores surface when immune system is weak, so im hoping lack of sores is a good sign. Good luck to you both.
Hey I am currently ordering a Western Blot but still it will take a total of 4-5 weeks for me to get the result and I will try the nontypespecific one, as you read from HowardH's advice it does make sense that a negative non type specific test could be more sensitive that Type specific since it combines both values. If you get a neg from both hsv1 and hsv2 and still have REAL symptoms I think you can try westorn blot even if you live outside US but it would be costly. I wish the best for you
Let me know if you decide to get the non-specific. I'm in the opposite situation to you basically.. got a neg on non-specific igg but have symptoms, so am considering spending the cash for the type-specific.
