I had genital to genital contact 6 weeks ago (no penetration) and have had HSV symptoms on and off for the last month or so. Achey muscles, sore throat, sore joints, and lethargic feeling. My dr thinks is just another virus and not HSV.
I’ve tested positive for HSV 1 in the past, so I know I already have HSV1.
Negative IgM and IgG-HSV2 tests at 12, 18, and 32 days post exposure. I’m going to test again this Friday...6 weeks post.
Today it looks like I may be getting a few irritated areas inside my mouth. Could genital contact cause mouth sores? We did not kiss and I had no mouth contact with the other person.
I have huge anxiety over this potential exposure, could the anxiety be bringing out the sores in my mouth with my pre-existing HSV1 condition?
No genital lesions so far over the last 6 weeks. Any feedback here would be great. I’m still so panicked about HSV2 and if I caught it from this episode 6 weeks ago. Please help.
