HSV_2_Newbie

I had no symptoms, but I had had unprotected sex in December. So my GP ordered a full STI screen in January. I: 1. Tested HSV2 positive by pcr on urine 5 weeks post exposure 2. Tested negative for igg at week 8 post exposure. My GP says to wait till 6 months. She also says I may not have seroconverted. I'd like to do another igg test at 12 weeks because I can't deal with the uncertainty. Surely antibodies will have developed by 12 weeks.

Hi, I'm sorry you're feeling so alone and sad. I have those days too where I just feel like I can't face myself, let alone the world. I've recently found this forum and I'm hanging onto it for dear life because I'm so ashamed to talk to anyone else about my status. Please take things one day at a time. You are worthy. You deserve compassion. You deserve happiness.

I've recently be diagnosed with both HSV2 (pcr) and lichen schlerosis. My GP didn't seem to think one interfered with the other.
