Hello,
I've read through some posts and this website seems to be very helpful. I'm hoping I can get some direction on my situation.
I feel like this May be mostly in my head to prefice this. Exactly one week ago I had unprotected sex with an exotic dancer. Only for about 5 minutes but I know that doesn't matter.
I sort of panicked about 48 hours later and got tested at a quest diagnostics location (checked for everything and igg blood as well). Two days later all tests came back negative. I realize incubation periods differ but for some reason I keep reading about herpes symptoms. Today in dead of summer, I have a bad head cold ( runny nose, cough , congestion etc) and I keep reading about flu symptoms). I can't help but feel like I may have contracted something.
I have no evidence of sores or anything but I keep reading about the initial synptoms of an outbreak and freak myself out. I also find myself checking my genitals almost hourly and I feel like that alone is irritating my skin.
Any direction is appreciated. I plan on getting tested again in about 8-10 weeks. I guess my major concern is I don't know if the sick feeling /congestion/ flu symptoms have anything to do with the unprotected sex.
Thanks in advance.
