Worried about herpes after unprotected oral and protected sex with escort

[MrKnull616]

Hi all and thank you for your service! I’m a young guy who about 6 weeks ago received unprotected oral for approximately 5 minutes and then protected sex for about the same maybe a bit longer, with an escort that wasn’t exactly expensive (150 for 30min) after the incident I haven’t had any symptoms whatsoever. 7 days after I had negative results on a urine test for gon/claymidia, now 6 weeks post exposure ive got negative results for hsv 1 and 2. How much certainty can I have with a double negative hsv at 6 weeks and no symptoms? Last year I had the blot done, and was negative for both types. Thank you for your time!

Thank you for your time! If I wanted to go for a final test for HSV 1&2 igg when should I? The testing service says that the tests are accurate best 6-8 weeks after but, on here I’ve ready varying times from 12 weeks up to 6 months.

And I know this is the herpes community but my 6 weeks test also includes hiv and syphilis testing as well. Were those accurate given 6 weeks since exposure?

Personally, I wouldn't bother, but if you do, then do it at 12 weeks. I have no idea why people say 6 months.

Please note that there are some false positives on the hsv2 IgG. If you get one, it can take weeks and several hundred dollars for more testing to sort that out. If you don't get symptoms between now and then, really think about if you want to take that chance.
