Is there any chance of my not being infected
My boy friend had almost like a blister on his upper lip on the left side. We kissed and had a bit of oral sex. i was wondering if there is even a slight possibility that i might not catch it? I did some research and realized what it was, and now i am extremely worried. How long do i need to wait before i can go to the doctor and get properly checked out?
at 2- 3 weeks from exposure, about 50%will have developed antibodies. at 12 - 16 weeks, it's about 80%. at 6 months, it's about 99.9%. a small % will never develop antibodies.
asha recommends testing at 12 - 16 weeks, so the person will get a fairly reliable result.
