Month 1 Negative (hsv 2) at 0.2 igg

Month 2 Negative (hsv 1) at 0.7 igg

Month 3 negative (hsv 1) at 0.48 igg

Month 3 negative (hsv 2) at 0.2 igg

Month 3 negative (hsv 1 and 2 igM combined)

Month 4 negative (hsv 1) 0.54

Month 5 negative (hsv 1&2) Pcr cell swab inside urethra , had pain, no blisters , or lesions so thought pain could be a sign of shedding.

Month 5 negative (hsv 1) 0.50 igG

Month 6 [26 weeks] (hsv 1 and 2) both 0.05 done individually 

Done at 4 different clinics, seen 2 dermatologists, 6 different doctors , planned parent hood, sex infection doctor, every one points to no hsv including blood test and pcr swab. 

But why am I still having symptoms? One dermatologist said stress and anxiety. Doctor said irritants like soaps, and others say everything looks normal

I know my body and it feels different, I see my penis and my buddy looks different as well. How is it possible that everthing began to happen 3 days after possible exposure.

    Hey, from what I know, the virus comes and goes from your blood exam! Since you got the IGM, maybe (but no always), your body is only building igm antibodies and forgeting to build igg (the ones that will help avoid next outbreaks).

    Have you tried taking Valtrex everyday or even Lysine? Maybe it can help with symptons!

    Or maybe it isn't herpes.

      I haven't taken any anti virals or antibiotics. Just playing the waiting game for the moment. My exposure was both oral and genital , it was protected, low risk but I know there's still a possibility.

      Wait. Did you have sex with condoms and the blisters are only in your penis? Did she have oral sex on you without protection as well? If so, it could be HSV1.

    And you should take an antiviral! It helps to reduce the time of symptons showing and of it coming back again! How come didnt your doctors tell you that?
