Igg testing

[Answift87]

I tested negitive on herpes igg blood test at 5,9,12,and negitive <0.2 at 16 weeks.  Whats the chances of it being accurate or do I need to continue testing

I thought I had symptoms which was burning  but I think I was letting anxiety cause me to overreact. Because in the beginning i tested pos for ureaplasma  then was treated and then negitive  but i think it could be the after effect of that I tested negitive  again at 6 months.

Burning alone wouldn't even be a symptom of herpes. If you had burning while peeing, that would mean you had internal sores, and that pain is BAD - really, really bad.

Ureaplasma is tricky because it can be naturally occurring as well as sexually transmitted, but if you're neg for it now, that's the important part.

Try not to let anxiety get in the way. If you need help with that, talk to your doctor about a referral to a counselor. Therapy can really help.

Yea it's never burnt at all while peeing the burning has slowed alot except for around my period other then that its like a irratation burn to me I've tested neg at 6 months as well

Something else must be causing those symptoms - it's not herpes. You've tested negative. Maybe it's something you're using around your period - your period products, or if you're washing differently, different underwear, something like that.

Your tests are as conclusive as they are going to be at 12 weeks.

I don't know why you are testing - what your risk was, did you have symptoms, etc. - but the hsv1 test misses a full 30% of infections. If you had symptoms, and are worried about hsv1, it could easily miss that infection. Getting any sores cultured is the best way to get that diagnosed.

If you were just testing to know after a risky event, and you have no symptoms, I'd call it conclusive and move on.
