not likely this is whitlow at all. whitlow hurts like a s.o.b and hangs around for much longer. it also isn't likely to appear on both hands like this either.

Past 15 months, Every 30 to 45 days I am having pain and burning sensation in the genital.

12 days before, my girl friend gave me hand job around 2 minutes. after 2 days  rashes on both hands and leg ,few small pimple filled with clear liquid, Dr told us that is mosquito bite 10 days later small pimple ( filled with clear liquid ) appear his outside between  pinky and palm left hand (end of pinky finger), 2 to 4 days than disappear. Than appear right hand same location like left hand. Hands became itchy, there is no pain.
Its looks herpetic whitlow?it affect both hand and leg like that ?

odds are these symptoms are not herpes related. continue to follow up on them with your regular provider or a dermatologist.

After 120 days (16 weeks) from exposed
Result came -ve
HSV   I  IgG    AI        :0.40  
HSV  2  IgG    AI        :0.30
Last month came low +ve with this diagnostic centre
(HSV  2 IgG Ab      :2.20,     HSV  2 IgM Ab      :0.80)
Last two test came back –ve, so can I safely assume no hsv?
Or need to test again?

I have no idea what your confirmatory testing options are in asia. you'll need to seek out those answers from a local herpes support group that is familiar with your options locally.

yes, having hsv2 increases your risk of contracting hiv if your partner has hiv.

your hsv2 is still a low positive. at this point now that you retested and got a low positive you will need to confirm it with additional testing. wait another month  and get a herpes WB blood test done or a biokit hsv2 igg - whichever you can get easiest.

Could it be Syphilis?  From what I've heard, Syphilis can cause bumps on the hands.  You may want to look that up.

at this point, no real reason to think that you have herpes. if you continue to get any symptoms, be seen promptly for further work up to try to figure out what is going on.

3 months is long enough.  The IGM test is flawed.  I will let grace look at your test results.

you can't figure out if you have herpes or not from chlamydia testing.  repeat your herpes igg blood test at the appropriate time and go from there.

odds are the bumps on your hands  aren't std related. see your doctor for an additional work up or a dermatologist.  If these were herpes lesions on your hands, they would most likely hurt like a s.o.b.

testing 10 days post encounter is far too early. you'll need to repeat your herpes testing 3 months after the encounter if you are concerned.

you were seen and told this wasn't herpes. no real reason to doubt it at this point. if you continue to have symptoms, be seen and follow up on them properly.
