hey so ive been tested for Hsv1-2 they came back negative , im worried if i tested to early . i tested at 10 & 12 days . My partner i had sex with tested negative but i dont trust them . i had protected sex , just cant shake the feeling of testing to early . I believe im expericing cold sore symptoms but i never kissed or oral anything . maybe im over thinking every small bump i see , i panic over it .. it was a blood test , i keep seeing articles of a 50 percent false negative . i dont want to spread anything or ponder on it any longer . should i trust the results ?

    blood tests for herpes are far more accurate 3 months after transmission.

    if you had protected sex then you are probably just overthinking.

      Those bumps are not Herpes. Retest in 2-3 months because you tested too early but more than likely you are fine.
