Possible Herpes infection

[Loyolags]

Dear Terri ,

Thank you for providing support to the people who are in need.

I have had an unprotected sexual intercourse with a Girl, with unknown history. She gave me both oral and veginal.

The very next day, I had pain and a cut in my genital skin. A week later, I got couple of blisters in my genital without any pain and I visited a venerologist  and suggested me it may be a Herpes and put me on a course of Valtrax 500mg*2/day. It got healed in four days. After a month interval, I got recurrence with two small fluid filled blisters absolutely no pain; again he put me on Valtrax 1gm *2 /day. This time it got healed in three days.

My test reports are

1. 30 days -Igm Elisa - 0.923 Herpes (1+2) – no tablets during that time
2. 45 days –Igm Elisa -  5.2 Herpes 2 – During this time I was 4th day of my Valtrax 1gm*2/day
3. 60 days –Igm -0.8 Herpes 2 – no tablets
    60 days –Igg – 0.61 Herpes 2 – no tablets.

I am wondering whether I have got Herpes, if it is HSV1 or HSV2. Should I proceed with the test for HSV1 & HSV2 seperately after 30 days considering today is 64th day after sexual intercourse. Please suggest me, I am in deep need of your help.

This is not Terri's forum. you have to pay to post to her.

the herpes igm test is a very flawed test. we never recommend it's use in adults.

so your 2 month post encounter blood test was negative for hsv2? Do I have that correct?

at this point I recommend being seen every time you have symptoms for a lesion culture and typing at this point.
