IGG & IGM blood tests after exposure

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hello, just need to know if anyone else has tested positive eventually after doing blood tests?

Guy I was dating at the time eventually did a full panel std test and was positive HSV 1 &2.

We had 3 protected sex, and he performed oral sex on me unprotected, and last sexual intercourse with him was unprotected sex on 9-1-19. I have not had ANY sexual activity since this date with ANYONE.

5 weeks after exposure:

Tested negative on 10-10-19 IGG

Tested negative 10-17-19 IGM

Persuaded doctor to swab my vulva fissures to do culture and test was negative on 11-3-19

13 weeks after exposure:

Tested negative IGG & IGM on 12-3-19

Am I officially out the clear for HSV??

      At a year mark was that the first time that a sore developed? I haven't had any sores.

      How many weeks post exposure did you do the blood test?

      blood tests reliable after 5 months.

      silly that most docs dont know

      however, if you dont have any symptoms theres rlly no need to worry.

      dont forget 80-90% of people are hsv1 and/or 2 positive at age of 60.... not everybody that comes into touch with a person with hsv gets it and most dont show symptoms so then whats the real issue... in other words, dont worry!
