i have tested 4 times by blood 3 times and swab once

first test at 12 weeks negative pcr and igg

second at 18 weeks negative igg and igm

third test 22 weeks negative igg and igm

last test at 8 months negative

but i have constant itching and paper cut feeling since jan 15th dr says LS but my mind cant keep away from herpes due to the chance of passing it on.

does anyone have info on testing can i put herpes behind me?

what are the chances of false negative

    Most blood tests are accurate by 12-16 weeks. so unless you've been having new sex partners I guarantee you don't have it. Also an outbreak wouldn't last since Jan 15th if that is what you meant.

    I'm sure you can put herpes behind you.

      I'm not super familiar with lady bits and there problems. But I'm sure the problem you're experiencing is from something else. Good luck to you friend
