HSV2 testing, 12 weeks vs 16 weeks
Had unprotected sex with someone that has HSV 2, was tested at 4 weeks and 12 weeks both negative, had symptons but no outbreak. Was wondering what really is the difference between getting tested at 12 weeks and getting tested at 16 weeks, there is a lot of controversy over this topic and wanted some light shined on it . Thanks !
Disregard my first response. Thank you
I have never had someone test neg at 12 then positive at 16. Your twelve week test is conclusive. I'm sure you have researched how low a risk your one time exposure was. 1 in a 1000. You can relax and move forward
How do you know that person has hsv?
Testing at twelve weeks is considered conclusive. Some folks never build the antibodies that the test looks for. I highly doubt the test would be positive from twelve weeks to 16 weeks.
Hsv1 tests miss at least 1 in 10 infections so hsv1 could be a possibility as well.

She ended up getting tested and told me she never had any symptoms or outbeaks. I had a bad ring worm out break about a week after sex and then after that I had bad jock itch that went away with fungal meds, then it came back again. I also got a red shiny patch on my penis foreskin with the jock itch, I exsparance back pain that was a strange felling like pressure in my lower back but then turned into swelling in the middle to left of my back that I then iced and went away. never had a outbreak.
