My last exposure was protected oral and protected vaginal with deep french kissing with a CSW. Around 2 weeks later I got what I believed to be a UTI. 6 weeks after my last exposure, I went for a blood test which includes Syphillis, HIV, Chlamydia, HSV1 and HSV2. My 6 weeks results are as follow:
VDRL - Nonreactive
TPHA - Negative
HIV I & II AG/AB (ELISA) - Nonreactive
Chlamydia IGG - 1.3 [(negative 11.0)]
Herpes Type 1 IGG - 0.8 [(negative 11.0)]
Herpes Type 2 IGG - 0.4 [(negative 11.0)]
My doc said all of the above results from 6 weeks is conclusive and I should move on. I read on the Internet that HSV can take up to 12 weeks and 6 months for an accurate result, so I planned to do another test on week 12, but I was too impatient, so I actually did my 2nd Herpes test at 2 days shy from 11 weeks (75 days) and the results are as follows:
Herpes Type I IGG - 0.8 [(negative 11.0)]
Herpes Type II IGG - 0.3 [(negative 11.0)]
Lately (5 months later) I've been experiencing mild itchiness around my lips, I suspect it is due to dryness and vaping, and I also found a single bump on my pubic area, below my belly, above my genitals, that does not look like a classic herpes bump, but I cannot be too sure, I'm no expert and I'm currently really anxious. This has me worrying about whether I should do another confirmatory test for Herpes or move on with 11 week results. I am also worried about risking a false positive and further wrecking my mental health. Should I retest or move on?
My personal verdict is if I'm positive for Herpes but is a late seroconverter, I should have a higher value that is closer to 9.0 or at least in the grey zone by week 11, rather than a low negative at 0.8 and 0.3? Grey Zone starts at 9.0, above 11.0 is a positive.
Thank you.
