Need some answers

This morning I woke up to find even more spots on my penis so I finally decided to get a blood test.. I found a lab that does the igg test..I was told I would get the result in 2 days...I just have a few concerns or questions and I know the experts on this forum would help me.
1.Can u get the inffection with condom on?
2.can you get infected through a handjob or in a tub that has the virus
3.are the break outs always big blisters
4.are the break outs painful
5.the most important is is the igg test very accurate for genital herpes

If you read our read before posting post at the top of this forum you'll see that we request that you just keep adding updates and new questions to your original post. Saves us the time of having to go look them up and review them before we respond. thank you for your future cooperation with this.

Your provider who actually saw your symptoms thought they were fungal.  I gave you advice as to how to properly treat a fungal infection in your other post.  You will not get herpes from a handjob.

I will try to answer you questions as accurately as i can

1. Yes you can get infected if outbreaks are outwith the coverage of a condom

2. Ver unlikley
3.Not at all some people have very mild outbreaks whilst others have fairly severe ones some have no symptoms at all

4. same answer as question 3  

5. If tests are done in the correct time scale then the igg test is usually definative

Hope this helps
