herpes scare

[jackfrost27]

the last time i had sex was about 8 weeks ago, the female i was with got tested last week and today she showed me her results and they were negative if i understand the paper work, so my question is what the chances of her being positive? i got tested as well and ill get my results tomorrow, so if my results are also negative what are the chances i should test again at 12 weeks?

Thanks for your kindness. I m pretty sure you are negative for both hsv 1 and 2. Please do me a favor by asking your doc the following questions:

1) I m now on antiviral for treating my HSV 1, if I were to get a retest, what is the appropriate time frame? For instance, 3 months or longer after stopping the antiviral treatment.

2) 11 week post encounter result is it conclusive? If I get a retest, the possibility for my result to be positive since my last hsv 2 result is in increasing trend.

Thanks Bro.

The problem with the females results is i cant trust that she didnt just get hsv right before we had sex, so my thought is that she would negative also at that point.

I dont want a definite answer because i no that know one on here can give me one but what i want is info from people i no are educated in the matter or have already gone through this problem.

It seems that people pick and choose who they would like to respond to and its crazy because a lot of the questions i see getting answered make far less sense than what im asking.

Either way im goin to get tested today and ill ask the doctor as many questions as i can if u or anyone else has anything u would like me to ask let me no.

my life becomes miserable as that encounter...the above-mentioned symptoms still persist until today. Now i even have new symptoms: mild pain in testicle and tip of my penis. Make me like having the sensation of ejaculation urge.

If i were given a chance I wont do this stupid act but now is too late. life is no second chance. Dunno how to face my wife and my family. How tell them about my condition. Luckily I have you all to share with what i feel now.

jackfrost27, if i were you i wounldnt worry at all as the female u had sex already tested negative. You feel relief and not continue worrying.

It is hard to give you a definite answer based on the question you asked and that why no response from Grace. I m in the same boot as you.

Now i just assume i m positive for HSV1 and negative for HSV2 and i m treating my HSV1 with antiviral even without symptoms as my doc insisted it, due to the high value of antibody found.

i went to ur profile and read ur last post and i know u dont have to worry about HIV, because u had a condom on and HIV is transmitted inside the body so u cant get it rubbing on the outside. The symptoms u said u have dont sound like anything i have read about hsv 1 or 2 so ur best bet is to see a doctor and get tested but from the sound of things u dont have much of anything to worry about! I no its tough to deal with anxiety and what could be, trust me im goin through it right now, but at least u have gotten a lot of responses saying u have nothing to worry about. i think my symptoms are much more likely to be hsv related and no one is responding to my post!

I also have the same problem like you...first HSV 2 test was < 100 but the second test increased to 169, after one month plus...that is my 11 week post-encounter.

Really scare to get a retest....need some advices from someone to ease my mind..
