confused and stressed about the herpes test
i recently had a positive igm n negative for both 1,2 igg herpes test. is this possible if the last person i had sexual contact with was 9 months ago, wont the igg test be positive ? im 7 months pregnant with my husband i know for sure he hasnt been with anybody else.im so stressed that i might pass it to my baby ..please if anyone know?...
i wouldnt care if i had it oral, but im scared of getting it genitally , im hoping for a cold sore at this point, i heard that it is unlikely you will get it genitally if you have it orally. my guess was that the tiny red dot on my lips was a cold sore since most people with HSV has very mild symptoms and wouldnt notice it . my mom has cold sores and it looks really disgusting. mine doesnt have blisters or fluid stuff. can it be a cold sore since some people have really mild symptoms?
okay but cant symptoms be so mild that you cannot recognize it? about 80% of people that catch this disease dont know that they have it because of no symptoms, right? kind of upsets me because there is evidence that i have recently contract it and i know i have a chose weather take the advice, you guys make me believe that i don't have anything but i have a lot of questions and doubt about it...if 80% of us has hsv1, wouldn't everyone kind of have genital herpes?
Okay okay okay. You still aren't listening to us.
We advised you you didn't have herpes. We told you since he was HSV-1 positive to cease oral sex during the pregnancy.
You want to think you have HSV-1 and we don't agree with you. Stop trying to force the thought down us. You have had no symptoms. You are thinking everything is Herpes. A cold sore won't go away in two days. Your symptoms for a new infection would show in 2-20 days. So what if you kiss a lot if you have HSV-1 oral its not going to impact your unborn child. Salivia isn't the best way to transmit the virus.
Your fear is uncontrolable at this time. You need to step back and think. Would Grace or I advise you to stop beliving a test if we felt their was concern for your pregnancy? The other side to this is you have no proof you have HSV-1 at all. None. You base the decision to think you have it off an IGM test which shouldn't have been done to begin with.
Should you be on treatment for what? You don't have anything at this point that we can see but none of your testing will be accurate until 3 months after the last encounter. If you had HSV you would have seen in within 2-20 days. If you have symptoms be seen by your doctor they can culture and type anything that they may feel is herpes. If you get to delievery and they feel you have an outbreak they will do a C-Section. HSV-1 genitially if you caught it doesn't reoccur that often and for some it never reoccurs. It is not as bad as HSV-2 genital.

3 months after your last sexual encounter and use only the type specific igg testing.
