This is going to sound strange but I am really confused and feel that I could use some guidance. I had unplanned unprotected vaginal sex with an individual that claimed to be clean. But of course you can’t trust anyone these days. This encounter happened once which according to medical specialists is considered a low risk for Herpes. However I noticed a strange bump near my anus that appeared about a month after the interaction. I didn’t have it tested until about 4 days after it appeared. Originally at the clinic they hesitated to test me for Herpes which I found strange. They said it didn’t look like herpes. It was a single bump, I had not experienced any of the typical symptoms you find online so to me it too appeared strange. It was not itchy either. I also thought it could have been caused by straining too when using the bathroom. But I insisted on having it swabbed. A week later they said it was positive for herpes, which left me shocked because I thought my interaction was considered low risk for herpes. At the clinic they tried to convince me that I must have gotten it from a long term partner I had before the one time interaction. But I am still confused since it’s only one bump and it’s near my anus. I only have vaginal sex with this individual. Also the longer term partner from before is negative. I was not convinced and I visited another clinic and this time because the bump had disappeared, I could only get a blood test for herpes, which i took two blood test two weeks apart because I am still not trusting these results. First one tested positive for HSV2 22.00 and the second one tested positive again for HSV 2 18.00. But to be honest I do not trust the test because herpes blood test seem unreliable in general. Why would one say 22.00 another 18.00 ?? Then why is it I did not have a ton of itching or multiple bumps ? Or why isn’t that it doesn’t burn when I pee or if pee on it since it’s kinda between my virgina and my anus ?? Why did it take over a month to appear from the time of the interaction? It’s not that I don’t want accept my results but it just isn’t making much sense to me. Could it be something else ??
