Risk question/symptom

[Stressed1970]

I was previously advised that my frottage risk was very low and zero to hiv even if there was semen on my cut.

I tested for all stis 51 days after exposures and all came back negative. Yesterday was week 8 and over the weekend I trimmed my pubic area and have a razor burn and sore: I’m now concerned this can be herpes which I obviously didn’t test for.

Please advise

You said you shaved and had razor burn. Why wouldn't this all be that and not herpes?

If the area had little (or no) contact with, the chances that this is herpes is zero. Chances of you getting symptoms this much later is even lower.

You need to let this go. We've been over this. Get some counseling. You deserve to find some peace.

I didn’t shave completely I started too and stopped. I’m hypersensitive right now due to how everything has happened. As you can see anxious

Yes, and your anxiety is what you should be most concerned about. You are talking yourself into all these "what if" scenarios, and even changing details as you go. You said you shaved and had razor burn, and now you are saying you didn't shave completely as if that changes anything - shaving even one little spot can cause razor burn.

You have a clear cause - shaving - and a clear effect - razor burn.

Please, get some counseling.
