I'm freaking out a bit only because I found the love of my life and I'm looking at having herpes. I was told by a partner he had herpes (before the man I'm with) I'm testing low index and they want to retest me. I'm just wondering what does this all mean. What's the chance of me having it if they are saying I'm testing low index what does it mean. I have hsv1 and I am being told that I could be negative because I had a break out same time around testing. I want to know. I've read many things on here and you all seem to hold a lot of knowledge if I'm barely positive is there a strong chance of me not having it?

      It can be, but you don't sound like you have herpes (from your other posts) and I am sure there are many other explanations, including anxiety. Only half of those with genital herpes get tingly sensations, and usually in the affected area rather than the whole leg (although possible in some folk), while the other half get no tingly symptoms at all. Tingling is thus not a good indicator of herpes, as many falsely believe. Lesions or IgG antibodies are the way to go.
