The testing is accurate, you did not acquire herpes from the episode of concern.
The rash was looked at by std clinic was determined to be skin irritation dermatitis was treated with steroid cream want away in a catch to 3 days was about a qrtr in size but small area that covered the head of my penis..
How big was or is the rash? Any irritation or discomfort? Any other "symptoms"?
Last question.. I tested just shy of 3 months. I have read 12 to 16 weeks is good to wait for these type of tests.. Should I retest at 16 weeks just to be sure?
Okay. I will not trouble you any further. Thank you again for your responses to my questions.
Having sybacious cysts made this whole experience much more nerve racking. Thanks again.
The HSV2 test is extremely accurate and conclusive. You do not have genital herpes given the results and absence of any aligned symptoms.
It has been roughly 12 weeks since my encounter. I have gone for my second hsv screening from lab test now.
The results were negative for hsv1 and 2.. I hate to take time away from anyone, but would you consider the igg herpes 2 test accurate??
1 thing I failed to mention is I suffer from sybacios cysts on the scrotum and I am constantly thinking anything and everything that pops up on my scrotum is herpes related...
Your insights would be appreciated.. Thanks in advanced.
usually not if ever related to herpes...
An itchy butt is usually if ever related to herpes.
What about my rectum itching should I have it checked.. No lesions or pain.. No anal play in my encounter.. I just can't stop obsessing over everything it seems..
Sorry to bother and thank you for your earlier response..
I appreciate you reponding to my post..
I truely hope you are right and just again thank you for being here I really appreciate and find comfort in knowing I can come here to ask these questions..
Good luck and my prayers to all who come here to seek advice..
Thank you again.
No male has been infected with HIV from receiving oral sex. Transmission requires access to the blood stream which is rare in protected sex and even unprotected sex with a female.
There is also nothing suggesting a genital herpes infection. Your tests at 12 weeks will be conclusive and will be negative.
