So I think I've gone crazy with worry and the more I read, the more worried I get. I was with someone that swears they tested negative for all STD's. After, I didn't trust him and got myself tested. I tested at 2 months, 4 months and again at 7months. All negative for HSVI&II (& all other STD's). I feel like I always have pimples on my butt which I don't remember from before but then again, never stared at my butt so intently until after I got scared of herpes. I've read to test after 3 months but that some people test positive after 8 months? It's been over a year. I'm scared to get tested again b/c what if it was positive? But I'm also not moving forward and allowing myself to date b/c I've gotten paranoid.
If it was herpes would you always have sores, consistently? Some clearing up and then others popping up immediately? Or does that sound more like a bad case of acne? The spots are only on my butt cheeks and a few on my upper thigh. No rash just the spots/sores and no pus. They do take forever to heal and sometimes get scabs on them but that might be from jeans, sitting, shaving?
Tell me not to worry - or to worry? When do you assume a negative result is really a negative result?
