It has been 7 months post exposure.  I am scheduled for IGG blood draw tomorrow.  I as you have read before I had a for lack of better term mutual masturbation experience.  Which I understand is has a little or no occurrence of spreading HSV even if the individual has HSV and has touched himself and now touch me.  I don't believe I have had an outbreak.  My symptoms are as follows:  it doesn't burn to urinate but I am unable to empty my bladder completely thus I leak little urine and it stings under the head of my penis.  I also complicated  the situation by allowing my self to become super dehydrated concentrating my urine even more and wearing the same spandex shorts for several sweaty hours (40+ per week) allowing fungus and god knows what to attack my penis.  However I have been test for every STD  under the sun except Herpes IGG  all have been negative but the IGM test.  Wish me luck.

the herpes igm test is a greatly flawed test and we never recommend it being used on adults.

A + igm is meaningless.

at this point , unless you get symptoms that can be cultured, nothing you can do but repeat the herpes igg blood test 3 or 4 months post encounter.

did you also have an igg herpes test done too?
