That sounds reasonable to me. I hope the further testing goes well, too.

So I went back to the dermatologist on monday, 5-9, and he said that despite redness on my scrotum and glans that they are both healthy and there is no sign of infection of any kind. Was tough to hear that. Ever since my encounter I've gone through numerous ailments, which I've listed before, but all test results have come back negative. I still get the itch on parts of my body, but my derm believes it is dry skin and my nerves are overly stimulated both from the cold weather and my obsessive mentality with what's been going on. I've been on a hydration regimen and have been trying to be more active in hopes of keeping my mind off of things. It's tough though, to go through all of this and to not understand why. I'm getting HSV and HIV re-tested at 12 weeks just to further ease my mind and I hope that with time, hydration and less stress/anxiety, whatever it is my body is going through will finally come to pass. I should consider myself lucky though and I need to take this as a lesson as to not be so careless in the future.
I don't want what that means, "exposed". Please get your test numbers and make a new post to this board and if you like, I will help you sort this out.

I was just told today that i was exposed to herpes. i can't remember what the numbers were, but I really want to know is that should get a second test done? I will be honest
is that i have had unprotected sex with a female for 17 years, but my girlfriend of almost five years test results were negative. I have had some itching on my genital area. Scared to death, don't know what to do.

While the itching is very real, I am starting to believe that it is more of a psycho-somatic ailment than anything else. It's not so much that I'm thinking it's HSV or HIV or anything, it's more of the "I know what it's not, but I don't know what it is" type mentality. But, anxiety can do that to a person. There are a lot of things I can do on my end to help me through all of this and I plan on sticking to them. Negative results are a great start and that's what I need to focus on. Thank you for listening and I will be sure to let you know how I'm progressing.
