      blood results (Serology testing) will be negative for the virus if done too soon.. Planned parenthood told me that if I get tested without a breakout testing, that my results could be incorrect up to 8 weeks after exposure without having outbreaks or open lesions to swab. thats just my experience though.

    hi, how long after a sexual encounter did you get bloods? it an take up to 3 months for you to produce antibodies... swab is more accurate. Let us know hoe you get on , take care x

      i had a ex that i was with for years never had this problem. he was the only one i was sleeping with. even three months before the breakout, i had the breakout in september got blood test a week after. if it is herpes it was something i had to been have because i was always with my ex. so is it possible for the results to be wrong even after the breakout? its no antibodies during a breakout?

    was it a IGM or IgG Blood test do you know? i believe the igg are more accurate but you are supposed to wait 12 weeks from last sexual evounter to do this test? the reason i ask is my blisters looked very similar to yours, 5 months down the line im still not sure as my blood tests keep fluctuating! i had a negative result at 8 weeks then a barely positive result at 19 weeks.

      it was IGG test , i heard the IGM was more accurate .. but im hearing different stories. but it was negative. i get bad bad yeast infections they are thinking thats what caused the breakout but i got swabs last thursday waiting for those results hoping and praying for another negative result. i am going to take another test after my swab test results come back. idk what you mean by last sexual encounter, i have sex a lot .

    please let us know your results when they come in. fingers crossed it was just relating to a yeast infection!! did your blisters burst at all? mine didnt! very confusing

      thank you. soon as i get results i will keep you updated. this has been a stressful time and im ready to feel like myself again. they didnt really hurt not that i can remember just felt like regular bumps like ingrown hair bumps.

      sorry for the late response. i had just woke up one morning and they were there. the doctor said it could be sores from BV and back to back yeast infections.

      she said it could be yeast infection sores, if my ex had a infection and we had sex unprotectedly its likely ill have a breakout.
