Herpes Immunoblot test.
Had unprotected oral (received on Aug 13) Symptoms lasted for 4 + months. Had HIV, syphilis, 3 gono/chlam tests, Hep C done...was diagnosed with NGU, and no antibiotic worked for the burning in urethra.
Was on Z-Pac 2grams, 400mg suprax, 1g daily x14 days Cipro, 200mg x14 days Doxy, 2 weeks of 1.5g of Flagyl and 4 pills of Difucan....over the 4 months. If anyone checks my previous posts its has been a giant pain dealing with this.
Well to update I have received my HSV 1 and 2 results. I had the test done 5 days shy of the 16 week mark. (exposure was august 13th, testing was Dec 8th).
Immunoblot IgG HSV1 - Negative.
Immunoblot IgG HSV2 - Negative.
Boy did this take the weight off my chest. What is the accuracy of this test? I think I found a post with Grace stating that its 92-98% accurate. Also I am assuming that testing a few days before the 4 month mark should not invalidate thhe results?
This taught me a lesson what total lack of judgment and having the "little head" doing the thinking for the big head can get you into.
Any feedback would be welcome, thank you.

Grace..you can beat me over the head now with a hammer.
The nausea comes and goes, often begins with the urethral symptoms and back pain/itching sensation (itching redness on anus too). Went jogging, for the first 5 -10 minutes I thought I would puke. The first ever episode (months ago) of this woke me up at night with the back and nausea symptoms. I don't know it this was related to my pills or something else.
GP says its nothing..............
Most, if not all, the antibiotics I took were on an empty stomach or with liquids, thought that would not dilute their effectivness. This includes 5g and 4.8g of Penicillin and Cloaxicillin x14 days I was supposed to take 2g not 5. Cipro 1g x14days was with Doxy200mg x14 days empty stomach too. Bad gas, SEVERE burning heatrburn, tingling in body were my general side effects. Tongue was coated white, thick white, hard to brush it off with toothbrush.
Only thing that helped (at least I think so) was Difucan. 4 150mg pills taken once a week...then everything came back.
The point that I think Im trying to make is that I ve read soooo many stories on MedHelp and the web with ppl not showing the "typical" HSV symptoms that I have a hard time getting over it, it freaks me out and I am starting to doubt the Immunoblot results even though they were at almost 16 weeks post exposure. I even want to get retested for Syphilis even though my test was 7.5 weeks post.
In a way I pray that it would be fungal. I am high on anxiety and at a loss............................

lots of viruses going around right now - I wouldn't assume nausea is related to what's going on in between your legs. also when you have disrupted your flora in your gi tract with multiple antibiotics that can contribute too.
Yes, you can have fungal infection even in the anal area too.

Grace, I do apologize if I seem like a pest. Ive had an odd situation and would like your opinion. Started with irritation in the urethral area that had the supposed NGU infection previously (below the head bottom of penis) on Saturday, progressed to bad nausea, back pain and itchy feeling, foreskin, tip of penis itchy, itchiness between my crotch - one scratch it goes away but same areas non stop. This all got worse through Sunday to Wednesday.- especially the nausea(felt as if I was gona puke and the feeling as if my urine is almost acidic (know its not just the feeling) any drip or after urination feels hot burning penile skin.
I had the same sensations twice or so before in the same exact progression in the last couple of months, the first time it lasted over a week, much more intense, developed 2 large zit type things on lower back on tail bone, tingled when touched, itchy as hell, fluid filled. They went away after a long time or I scratched them off...don't remember. now just the exact sensations, no zits yet. I know I was tested 15 weeks 2 day after exposure by Immunoblot (neg for both 1 and 2). Could I just be late in developing antibodies to HSV? Is that possible?
My GP will not do another HSV test, thinks its unnecessary. But 1 in 10 come back with false results. Im only worried about GHSV1. The nausea is the worst, bad bad bad puke bad.
Last tidbit - My wife was diag with BV or Trich.......GP not sure and gave her Flagyl, I got the same and difucan. Could all the antibiotics (Cipro, Penicillin, Amoxicillin, flagyl, Z-Pac, Suprax, Doxy) give me a bad long lasting fungal infection that difucan failed to eradicate? Since symptoms come back every few months. Last time before now was begining of Dec.
