I slept with my best friend who has herpes.

Recently me and my best friend had a drunken hook up. He found out about a year ago that he has herpes. Being my best friend i know he is constantly carrying condoms but did not have one this particular night. He assured me that there was nothing to worry about he was not having an outbreak or symtoms of any kind. I knew there was still a risk but we did it any way. Ever since then i have horrible anxiety that i contracted it. I do the worst and google symtoms. Ive had leg pain for days which can be related. Weird twinges in my vagina. No burning with urination. My doctor says its hard to test for herpes because the test cant distinguish between HSV-1 and HSV-2 . Im so confused and so paranoid.

2. Doesn't matter if he has obs. There's asymptomatic shedding that takes place at times w no symptoms.
3. Your anxiety is likely making you feel things that are not there.
3. You need to find a new doctor. He is WRONG. There are type specific IgG ELISA blood tests, but you need to wait four months post exposure to build antibodies to show in a blood test. The only way to test earlier, is if you actually had a sore present to swab.
5. Your risk was so low, you need to stop worrying. My best guy friend was married for 7yrs w a partner who had H and never got it.

As you already know, H can and does present differently in everyone. I've seen girls w a small patch of red skin that felt raw and was shocked they were able to swab it andget a positive swab. W that said, I think it might be in your head from anxiety.
What does the keg pain feel like and what is the location? Have you looked down there w a mirror and flashlight?
Please ask them what type of blood test it is, because outside of a western blot, I can't imagine what test that exists, that can show results at four weeks?
Try not to stress it and let me know if any other symptoms poo up. Feel free to pm me.
