i had unprotected sexual intercourse & oral sex 2 years ago . Sept. 15 of this year i was diagnosed by my doctor of having genital herpes because of the lesions on my sexual organ. I had outbrakes but tested NEGATIVE on that same day on the blood draw. The doctor said, it's not in my bloodstream yet. Also on that same day i tested NEGATIVE on HIV. Three weeks after having tested negative for HIV I went to get tested again by means of oral swab
1) is it possible that i contracted this virus (HSV-2) 2years ago and it's just now being active? How long is the window period for this?
2) is it now safe to say i don't have hiv? how long is the window period for this virus before it can be detected in your blood stream?
3) i have heard stories that HIV virus can sometimes be active or be detected in your body after 10 or more years because it depends how your body will react to the virus..IS THIS TRUE??
My doctor treated me for my HSV-2. it healed and on Oct. 6. of this year, i started getting sore throat. Lymph nodes swelling under my chin. I had tonsillectomy 15yrs. ago by the way doc. Severe swelling, to the point that it wakes me up in the middle of the night and w/c started FREQUENT small outbreaks on my genital area. I also noticed doctor that, when i stopped taking Acylovir, the throat swelling becomes worse and it hurts bad, give me chills, slight fever, frequent outbreaks w/c are a few symptoms of HIV+ and it has been a month now since i got this. I tested NEGATIVE on streph and on Herpes swab on my mouth by the way. I have not consulted an EENT doctor yet though and sore throat is not going away.
1) is this a symptom of HIV that is now just being active
i have a girlfriend for a year and a half now and she also had some outbreaks but tested NEGATIVE on blood on Sept. 15, and we don't use protection when having sex, because i know her sexual history if she's telling the truth..
RESPECFULLY YOURS,
Me
