Equivocal HSV2

Hello let me begin by thanking this forum and its availability, along with the many users who are constantly on here providing assistance to us I need of advice.

I am a 19 year old male and 9 weeks ago I had a one time protected encounter with a female I do not know the status of and am personally not too
Confident in. The entire ordeal lasted about 3-5 minutes. I tested at 8.5 weeks and received results of all being negative except for HSV2, I did not experience any symptoms until the day I received results (which I believe are all me in my head and being caused by anxiety and stress) symptoms I have noticed are urethral pain that will come and go. And testicular pain that also
Come and goes. My question is from past experience with these tests (IGG specific) what are the chances with my one time Encounter that an equivocal of 1.07 comes back Positive. I am not in the best of shape if that makes a difference in the amount of time it takes to develop antibodies. Please any help would be much appreciated I have spent days in deep
Depression with the thought of being infected.

Yes hair can act as a barrier. If you did not get any genital sores followed by flu like symptoms a week post exposure would be evidence that  you did not contract hsv2.

Hi. having a 1.7 at 8 weeks i am certain would come back negative at 12 weeks. And since first time outbreaks occur at point of contact and you wore a condom, your urethra symptoms and testicle issues would not be herpes related.

Thank you Dave! 1.07 if that's what you meant, also she was not shaved as I heard that can act as a barrier and I was trimmed at the time. Really appreciate you taking the time to reply
