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

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.

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

Seems here on day 12 I've had all early symtoms I have read about, no blistering yet, just notice a few rash type areas, not sure if it's related.

Seems I'm still in incubation period?

Thanks

For a recent exposure nothing would come up at 9 days most often. 8 week would be a better indicator. It really appears as a false positive. equivocal means positive till retesting confirming. But as mentioned having a 1.09 at 9 days really leans toward a false positive.
