3 days after I had oral sex with a new partner, I came down with a serious illness. I had severe tonsillitis, swollen lymph nodes in my neck and a moderate fever that fluctuated quite a bit, the highest I measured it at was 102.5. I couldn't eat, drink or speak without much pain. I went to the doctor, they gave me anti-biotics and a step test which came back negative. This gave me cause for concern since I had read on the internet that if someone gets herpes, often times, the symptoms I had occurred shortly after infection. I decided to get tested for a full range of STD's just to be on the safe side. When I got to the doctor the day of the test, 10 days after the sexual encounter, I told her why I think I might have been infected. I had a few small pimples at the base of my penis and a few in my pubic area. The doctor said that most likely this was just hair follicle pimples or maybe some other irritant which caused the pimples, as they had a white cap not a clear blister appearance, but she was fine with me getting tested anyway. So my results came back and it was negative for everything. As far as I can tell, these are the two tests they gave me: HSV 1/2 IGG, Herpesselect type specific AB and HSV IGM Antibody w/refl titer. Both of which came back Negative. My HerpesSelect test was <0.90 for both 1 and 2 and the IGM Antibody test came back with a result of "Not Detected". The Herpes Select test says that in suspected early cases the test should be repeated in 4-6 weeks, however from what I understand IGM antibodies are created by the body shortly after infection, so perhaps another Herpes Select test would not be needed. Furthermore, I got another pimple on the shaft of my penis today, which gives me cause for concern.
1. Should I still be concerned that I might be infected?
2. Should I go back for another test in 4-6 weeks?
