herpes igm testing isn't recommended to be used on adults. your provider needs to read the 2010 cdc herpes guidelines and update their herpes testing knowledge.
a negative igm doesn't really mean anything either.
you had negative igg results initially so odds are if you had contracted herpes from this partner, you would've had very obvious and "classic" symptoms which you did not. really no reason for repeat testing.
do you plan on being involved with this partner more?
So grace heres the news!.....The first they did to me (a week after) exposure was the Igg test. Which from what ive learned is useless that soon but that was negative...So when I went back this past time, it was two weeks after exposure he just recently called me and said the IGM test was very negative as well. He said in the early stages the Igm test would show early exposure and it was all negative. So I feel somewhat releved lol...what do you think?
I just feel certain that I have it based on the symptoms so idk....also can symptoms include painful stool passing? For a couple of days I had frequent urges to use the bathroom and when doing so it hurt very bad and was difficult to pass stool. I was thinking it was from me lifting heavy weights due to the weight training I do but the more ive read the more I see different answers out there.
Also how would it determine if hers is newly acquired and not mine? For her tests to have come back positive it showed that she had already had the virus. The doctor told me based on my results from the first test I have never have contracted hsv from anyone previous to her. So now i have my fingers crossed that I did not contract it from her, and got lucky.
From the post I put what do you think my chances are contracting herpes from her? Based on symptoms, time, etc?
your test results now will help your partner determine if it's a newly acquired herpes infection for her or not , not accurately reflect a recently acquired infection for you. it gives you a baseline though.
