In need of serious Help!!!!!
I noticed some lesions on my penis and went to the Dr. The Dr Clinical Diagnosed me with HSV 2 and started me off with 1G of for 30 days. I stopped taking the antivirals and tested using the herpeselect igG blood test for hsv 1 and 2 it was negative. I tested again using the same test 16 and 20 weeks after taking the antivirals and it was negative. Please any suggestions

Did your doctor initially diagnose you with hsv2 visually, or did he do tests?
If it was visual only, believe the blood tests. Visual diagnoses are wrong quite often.
If he swabbed you, and you have a swab that says herpes was detected, then I'd wonder if you have genital hsv1, which is missed 30% of the time on the IgG.
