Herpes symptoms but negative blood test
Posted , 7 users are following.
Okay so I had unprotected vaginal sex. Couple weeks later I was not feeling well, as in muscle aches, headaches, scrotum was red and itchy. Went to the doctor got checked out. And tested for everything at 5 weeks and all was negative. A week later my lower back, buttocks, thighs was hurting and I've been reading that it's apart of herpes. But I have this feeling constantly for 2 months now everyday. I hear some people say it's not constant but only when a outbreak comes. Then my anus starts to hurt but I could not see any sores or anything. And I also have burning sensations in my pubic region just about everyday too. I know herpes take some time to show up in blood work so I waited 13 weeks to get tested again and it was negative. The std clinic nurse said you don't have herpes because the 13 weeks negative blood test shows it. I want to believe that but with all the leg, back, and head ache pains tells me different. And when I say I think it's still herpes my family and nurse thinks I'm crazy but I know I'm not.

If you're doing the IgG test, then it would show up by now for sure, especially if you're as symptomatic as you say. The test rarely misses HSV2, but can miss HSV1, however, HSV1 certainly wouldn't cause the constant issues you're having. If you aren't convinced that you don't have it, ask for a pcr swab the next time it hurts, burns or tingles in your anus or genital area, and if that is still negative, your issues really aren't due to herpes (not that they sound like they are anyway).

I have also been having the same issue. I had unprotected sex and two days later started feeling burning sensations in my vaginal area. Over the course of a month I was tested multiple times for std and all negative. I felt like I was going crazy with no relief and no one could tell me what's wrong. One doc suggested symptoms relate to herpes which messed with my head and I started checking everyday to the point where I started to think I saw something. I got my skin swabbed it wasnt an actual bump but i was irratated. My test came back negative now after almost 2 months of dealing with this i got the igg test. I was positive for hsv1 which i expected i have had cold sores since a child but negative for hsv2.. for some reason i still dont feel at ease.I have random pains in my buttocks this burning has been constant for since July i dont know what it is they gave me acylvior just to see if it would help pretty much process of elimination now but 10 days of that and still no relief it actually made me feel all tingly and made me feel like inhale crazy sensations down there that I wasn't feeling before the medicine plus back aches. It did make a cold sore that was forming go away in 2 days..they put me meds for yeast infection nut all the time I tested negative for that could this be herp

I'm in the same boat as both of you. Tested at 4, 7, and 12 weeks post exposure and still testing negative for HSV-2 igg. I already have oral HSV-1. Same constant back/butt/leg aches, head aches, had a few small pimple looking things on my legs/butt. Also had the cold sore looking thing in my mouth for like two days just like you. This is all after I've been taking better care of myself. At first there was pain in the lymph nodes and scrotum, and slight fever. Mine was protected sex.

I feel like it can't really be HSV-2 since my risk of transmission was extremely low. The probability that this is HSV-2, based on what I've read, is astronomically low (as one doctor put it). It has to be something that can be transmitted more easily. Not sure what it could be. Maybe cytomegalovirus, enterovirus, i don't know.
