Thank you for your response,
As far as I know. No, i do not have HSV1 and I am sure that I don't. My doctor told me after my first test (5 weeks) to forget it about it because the test was conclusive. Then I read the time it would take to produce antibodies and I wanted to die. I've searching a lot on the forum about my question but all kinds of answers. I've read so many posts where people state that 12 weeks is conclusive but some still recommend 16 weeks. I read a blog from a guy the went through the same nightmare about 6 years ago his profile picture had a dog in a couch. He said 12 weeks was good for him and that was it. I'll be honest with you, it gives me some sort of piece of mid but then 16 weeks comes in. I am so close to 16 but at the same time really far from it. :(
I read a few answers from Grace, Fleetwood, a guy something undune and yours as well.
Does it matter who I take the test with? Quest, Labcorp, CPL or any other lab as long as it IGG?
Thank you
Yes, it's possible for someone to test positive between 12 and 16 weeks, but the vast majority of people will test positive by 6 weeks.
Do you have hsv1? You mention never having a cold sore, but 90% of people who have oral hsv1 never get a cold sore, so it's possible that you have it and don't know it. I ask because those who have hsv1 may take a little longer to develop antibodies.
Chances are really good that you didn't get hsv2 from her. You used a condom, which would put your odds of getting it at about 1 in 10,000. You aren't at risk for hsv2 from receiving oral sex from her - she is only infectious from the site of infection, and oral hsv2 is very, very rare.
It's up to you whether or not to test again. If you don't have hsv1, I don't think you need to, as you haven't had any symptoms at all, and have negative tests through 12 weeks. If you haven't been tested for hsv1, you should be.
If you go for another test, make sure it's just the IgG. The IgM is terribly unreliable, shouldn't be done on adults, and is designed to look for new infections, which if you were positive, wouldn't be a new infection now, medically. It has a high rate of false positives, and I'd hate for you to go down that spiral.
I can sense that you're angry with her, and I'm not saying you shouldn't be, but this forum is full of people who get misinformation from their doctors. So many doctors still say that if someone doesn't get outbreaks, the virus is "dormant", or "they're fine, can't transmit", or that they're some kind of "carrier" or were exposed but didn't get it. I say this because "dormant" sounds like a term she may have heard from her doctor.
I am always for full information/full consent, but misinformation can color that sometimes. I'm not saying this for her sake, but for yours. Anger eats you up, and maybe it will help you find peace with this somehow.
