I'm glad those results were negative. And good that you are being tested for other things as well. I'm not sure where you live, but in the US, about 2/3 of adults have oral herpes, HSV 1. Perhaps it is common where you are also. If your HSV 1 test is positive, it doesn't mean you contracted this through a sexual contact, and certainly doesnt' mean you contracted it through this contact.
The yellow urine color has nothing to do with herpes or any other STD. I would encourage you just to continue to drink plenty of fluids. Darker color in the urine usually indicates the urine is more concentrated and you could use a little more water.
The risk of getting herpes at a single exposure is really low. I would advise you to try to calm down and just wait for the test results, as best you can.

Jerry, your antibody tests for herpes are negative for both type 1 and 2. You should repeat the test when 3-4 months have passed since any possible infection could have occurred.

Hi Jerry,
I had the same type of worry when I was in the UK. Yes, the hospital clinics won't test for herpes. But you can get the IGG blood test done at like a private clinic. I think I went to one that was at Paddington Train Station, up on the 1st level. Not sure if you are in london though. I think it cost about 50pounds.
It is possible to get the iGG blood test but you have to find a provider and pay for it.
Here is the link:

Good luck.

thanks for the reply .... some kind of crazy things going on my body , as i have told you i felt i got rashes on my penis , and i decided to go GUM clinic as well , but what happen on the next morning when i saw there is no rashes its like normal skin :) so i have not been to clinic , moreover mouth ulcer it started healing , i used anbesol now am perfectly alright i haven't got any symptoms so far i think am back to normal life but certainly i will take test @ regular intervals . i have got some couple of questions and this will be last post .
1) As you said its really low on single encounter , but my question i haven't got any symptoms so far its been 5weeks now , if am infected the symptoms has to come now isn't , so what you think my chance of getting herpes, syphilis, warts on this encounter
2) am afraid cox am newly infected , so will it take time for the symptoms to appear? i know am hitting around the bush with the same question . hope u understand what i mean .
3) what are the chance of getting hiv on this encounter .
i have learnt the value of life , got so much things to do other than sex :) :) ..... my worst part of my life this 4 weeks :) Any suggestion could really be appreciated . this will be last post , and will update with my results when i get properly tested .

You are not annoying me, but I very little else to offer you.
You can take those tests, but you need to wait 3-4 months from the time you might have been infected to your most accurate test. All of these symptoms likely have little to do with herpes, but we can't be sure since your symptoms are so all over the place. Perhaps going to the GUM clinic will be good.

The mouth ulcer is very likely unrelated to herpes since your results are negative. The test you need to take for herpes, if you are going to test in 3 months, would be the IgG antibody test.
I can't help guide you about how much to believe this girl. Would you feel uncomfortable showing her your results and asking to see hers?

Jerry, there is no way to say for certain if you have herpes at this point or not, but your symptoms don't fit typically for herpes. Also, your exposure without a condom sounds very short, is that correct? Was this a professional sex worker or not?
If you did contract herpes, yes, of course you could get married, but there would some risk of infecting your partner, yes. You could also have children safely. But I honestly think you are ahead of yourself here. I disagree that the first sign of herpes would be pain in the leg. Sometimes people have that with recurrences, but the first symptoms of herpes would normally be sores in the genital area, which you are not reporting, is that correct?
I would advise that you consider getting a herpes antibody test now, and repeat it in 3 months. Have you ever in your life had a cold sore? If yes, then your HSV type 1 antibody test will be positive. I think you are most concerned about HSV 2, the most common genital type of herpes. Do you think you can get an antibody test where you are?
