3 weeks past intercourse no outbreaks
Posted , 6 users are following.
It'a almost been 3 weeks since I had sex with somone(only once) who has herpes.
She was on an anti-viral, hadn't had an out break in 4 years, and hadn't infected anyone in 6 years.
So far I have NO symptoms or any indication of blisters or lesions!
I read some articles stating that usually if your symptom free 2-3 weeks after your initial contact with that person you should be in the clear.
Two questions:
1. What are your guys thoughts on this?
2. I've seen 4 different doctors and each has told me they don't believe I have it. One reccomended testing at 3 weeks and the other at 8 weeks for final validation. Will the IGM pick up antibodies at 3 weeks to give me some anxiety relief?
I was so paranoid at day 3 that I had a full std panel done with IGM. That ended up with everything being negative.
The articles were from Dr. H.Hunter Handsfields.

Three of them said that the IGM is still accurate. One told me that If I did'nt have any signs by two weeks not to even worry about getting tested at all. That the test can be false positive since it picks up flue and chicken pox virus.

But . I can honestly say I seriously doubt you have it
Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex while I was during an outbreak and he has gotten tested 3 times all came back negative. Seeing how as she hasn't had an outbreak in years you are seriously seriously good .

Same thing happened to me only I wasn't so lucky , I got stuck with the stuff ...
did you guys use condoms ??
I don't think you have anything to worry about she is on suppressive medicine which makes it 3 percent to catch the disease UNprotected
Protected sex is down to one percent ...
So I know your good .
It's a lesson lesrned
Did you ask her about her sexual past ?? If she had any diseases ?
How did she come out and say that she had herpes to you ??!

But I haven't really had any outbreaks either
I thought I was having one because I Thought I was having an UTI because I was so wet but things cleared up and I'm pretty good .
I wanna take suppressive medicine , especially since I'm getting involved with my boyfriend again and I don't want to chance anything ...
I don't know what to do ..
I don't have any insurance right now soooo the price of the medicine is fricken expensive ..
You should definitely get on it tho , try it out or something ..

Without it, it was only a couple mintures in the shower.
She randomly just sat me down the next day and told me she had it. She told me my response was practical. Very strange.
When did you have your first breakout or notice first symptoms after you had sex?
So far most everyone has been saying within the first two weeks? It seems pretty good in my case since im on week 3.
thank you again for the feed back

But the person who infected me never once let me known they had this otherwise I wouldn't of gotten involved with em like that .. So I know exactly what you are going through lets just be grateful that you got lucky
And I tell you that makes you not want to have sex with anyone else ever again ..
Have you talked to her ever since ??
Did she at least apologize for what she did ??

Then she kinda apologized I guess but not really. Told me I was the one concerned so I should get tested.
Very strange right?
So I have a question. If you were in my shoes, what makes me lucky compared to your situation prior to you contracting it?
Thanks for the feed back

But she still told you .
I'm 20 years old before this happened i never ever even had discharge . So much stuff is happening to me and I'm having to figure them out all on my own .
Yes , I made a choice to have sex but this person made a choice to hide the fact that they were HSV type 2 positive .
I basically had to forgive someone who wasn't sorry .. You know ? And i talked to the person they finally told me that they were sorry and that they were both positive for herpes & genital warts (which happened after we had sex) thank god .
Karma is real in this world just as he infected me he got reinfected with another disease ...
My whole life is different now, no matter what anyone says . No one wants to take the risk of getting this stuff so more then likely no one will really want to be in a relationship me besides the person that I'm with now & it's a scary thought .
Just count your blessings man , this is nothing to play with . Next time you have sex make a broad give you her full std panel .
These days .. Are dangerous.
I would've been more happy to get gonorrhea or chalymdia or something that I can get rid of then this life long virus .
Don't even bother to talk to the female no more after this scare .. You can't afford to let your health deteriorate because hoes wanna lie about their health..
Sorry you hAd To go thru this and I'm happy that you are clear !!
