HSV IgG 1/2 Negavtive but with HSV symptoms
Hi there,
So three years ago I had sex with my girlfriend who says she was clean but has never proved it (and had a sketchy character she slept with before). Our first time having sex, the condom broke. I had symptoms two weeks later of a burning sensation at the tip of my penis and an inflamed urethral tip with burning in the last 2 inches of my urethra. I went to the local clinic, she said it wasn't HSV and tested me for gon./chl. which came back negative. This happened once again about 12 months later. This year it's happened four times with two of those times presenting a red piece of skin (about the size of a pea) on my shaft with a very well defined border and no weeping. I mistakenly had a PCR blood test done which was negative but then had an IgG test which came back negative for both HSV 1/2, Is it possible that this is HSV or something else? It's somewhat concerning that these things started up after we had sex and I haven't had any partners since.

Commercial testing misses about 1 in 10 infections, but even if this comes up positive say through a Westernblot test, you'll still not know whether it is oral or genital.
It just doesn't sound like herpes no.

The latest flare up of these symptoms caused the right side of my shaft to become extremely sore to the touch (no visual signs) as well as the entire head and end of my urethra burning. I know a lot of these aren't your textbook signs but is it possible I got a false negative from the HSV1 part?
This does not seem to be herpes related and the testing confirms this. You are negative.
For additional comfort, maybe your girlfriend could also test and then you'd all be much more comfortable in your knowledge of status.
