The second paragraph was just addressing some confusion I read in previous threads... sorry about the wordiness.
The help I really need is just to be told to stop worrying about it from a medical professional. This is the kind of help you all give every day.
Your HSV serology results are negative. Most people who acquire HSV will develop a positive result within 8 weeks, but sometimes it takes 3 months or even longer. But the chance you got herpes from any single encounter were very low anyway, so I don't reommend further testing.
I don't see a specific question in your last paragraph. You have the facts right, and I agree the terminology is confusing: gG stands for glycoprotein G, a specific antigen on the surface of HSV viral particles; and IgG stands for immunoglobulin G, a class of antibody. So yes, the HerpeSelect test detects IgG antibody to gG-1 or gG-2, designating HSV-1 and -2, respectively.
Going back to the closing comment in the preceding paragraph ("whether I need tto seek mental help"): As you go through your medical training, you will learn first hand what I have said many times on this forum, that when a person suspects s/he has an emotional problem or needs mental health expertise, s/he is often (usually?) right. Obviously I can't make that judgment from this distance--but if in doubt, an initial consultation wouldn't hurt.
