IgM

Is HSV 2 IgM test accurate after 12 days from exposure? Is it too soon to test?

Had protected vaginal intercourse, she gave me unprotected oral and then kissed me. Can she transfer type 2 to my mouth by kissing?

Your risk is very low for HSV.

She cannot transfer HSV2 by kissing.  I mean, it's possible in the same way that hitting the powerball is possible...which is my way of saying it didn't happen.

Take the IgG type specific tests at 12 and 16 weeks for accurate results.

She tested positive for 1 & 2, could she have 2 in her mouth already?
Just received this news?

Can a person have 1& 2 in the mouth?

Thanks for answers I'm going crazy thinking about this.

If she has HSV2, there's a 99.9% chance that she has it on her genitals.

Your risk is a little higher with this new knowledge.  Get tested at the appropriate times and not sooner. The waiting sucks, but we've all been there before.  You'll make it.

Obviously, if you DO experience anything that you think may be an outbreak, get seen same-day and get the area cultured.

And she probably has type1 orally and type 2 genitally.  Very common.

Thanks, I feel terrible, been 13 days since exposure, had many early symptoms, a few rashes and pimples that popped up on back, but no blisters yet. Not sure how folks deal with this? It's driving me crazy, can't get it off my mind. I'd did see another doc yesterday, he saw no visible areas of concern. My glands are swollen in groin area and have terrible sore throat.

Have the next rash cultured by a doc.  You have to do it within 24 hours for best results.

And DO NOT take any Valtrex, if you can help it.  The antivirals slow your bodies response and cause more false positive tests with early infections.
