Hsv2 igg test

[Sonervous1]

Hello, I've posted here before and it really helped. I'm hoping to get a little more insight for the last time

I understand over testing, but I have used stdcheck 10 panel at 3, 5, 6, and 8 weeks from a 1 time, brief protected encounter (I'm a male) with someone who I really don't know their status.

I cant make it to the 12 week test, but I've been negative for everything except hsv1 igg (56) every time. Praying to god, if my test stays negative at 11 weeks is it fair to call that conclusive? I haven't had any symptoms, asides from a tingle here or a throb there that I assume is just anxiety

And if you have any input on the validity of the other tests I'd appreciate that too.

You were fully answered on this and your previous thread.

You had protected sex for a minute or two. The chances that you got hsv2 are slim. Like really, really slim.

I'd call you conclusive now since you haven't had any symptoms. 70% test positive by 6 weeks.

I can't give you any more insight than the thorough answers I've already given you. If you used condoms in a long term relationship with someone with hsv2, and avoided sex with symptoms, you'd have a 2% chance of getting it per year. PER YEAR.

I can't advise you to keep testing. You will if you must, but it will be hellish if you get a false positive. It takes several weeks and several hundred dollars to unravel that.

Get help for your anxiety disorder. That's a far better use of your time and money.

If you please don't mind my follow up-

If a huge majority of people are asymptomatic, does it really mean anything if I didn't show symptoms in the incubation period?

Also, how does stdcheck say their test is 99% accurate after 6 weeks when you say the potential false positive result is so high? And what would you say a false positive rate is with the igg test?

I read a bunch of old HHH posts on here, but they are from 2014... are they still reliable 10 years later?
