Is this genital herpes? On male(pics) need help
Posted , 4 users are following.
It started like a red patch the monday of the last week, i think it was an infection or something else, but there was so much pain then it opened in some parts and started to bleed, i went to the doctor and she said without doubt it was genital herpes and im waiting for test results, she recommended aciclovyr on creme but its been a week since im using it and it does not get any better, i started to take aciclovyr on pills yesterday, my last sex relation was witha girl like to months ago and i didnt see anything inusual. Please help, i taked tests for syphilis and hiv and they went negative.

It doesn't really sound like herpes to begin with. At how many weeks was your negative IgG (not IgC) test done? If you want peace of mind, retest at 3+ months post-exposure. Genital herpes is only really contracted via intercourse or oral sex. If the partner you fear tests negative for IgG, especially at 3+ months, then she doesn't have it herself.

Hi, feliz castus, i have been making tests all these months and they came back negative, but the last one the values increased slightly but that got me worried, in the área that I got the outbreak or wound i got a scar, and sometimes i get a single little point that vanishes in 1 day, these aré my results, should i worry? To be clear the results has to be exactly 0.0 or its normal to have some antibodies or it can be a false negative? The wound healed totally after two months.

The results are never zero. I wouldn't worry about the increases, as they're minimal and some fluctuation is normal. You're still also well below the equivocal and positive ranges. Odd test, though. I haven't seen such ranges before. Which test kit is it? Herpes also doesn't come and go in one day, nor does it persist for two months, just fyi.

No, 3 months is good enough, 4 months to be ultra conservative. You're fine.

3 months is what the experts advise these days. You're in the clear. Must be something else. Perhaps you should see a dermatologist instead.
