[I am confused with my hsv-2 antibodies results]

Hello, im just reading this and wondering how everything is? Have you been retested later in time? @popovicjoleee

[Twitching, tingling and sensations in the legs can be caused by Herpes]

Im not sure if anyone who has been contributing to this thread is still active, but im wondering if there has been changes to your HSV statuses over time? I experience the same soreness, tingling sensations, NO SORES/BLISTERS, in the same areas but have been tested negative for 9 months straight until last week when it was "equivocal". These symptoms started in April, 2020, the morning after our encounter.

 

My partner, who gave me a possible exposure in this case, told me their gyno has tested her for negative in everything 2-3 weeks ago. Now i know, some gynos or any doctors dont really test for all STDS, but Im not sure if this is just a slow race for a HSV 2 positive result or something else?

 

I am aware false positives exist, and during this encounter I have cut my penis due to no lubrication (minor cut).  But my results came back as 0.93 last week and the doctor recommended me to wait for another 6 weeks for a retest. Im just confused because its been NINE months. In December, i was negative. 

 

These symptoms have been non-stop for me, ranging from high-pain levels to tolerable. I just hope someone from this thread sees this, and has had a change in results over some time (10 months or 1 yr plus).

I don’t know for sure if I have HSV but I am 99% sure I have it despite negative blood tests. I have tested for everything else, including thyroid, celiac, B12 deficiency, autoimmune diseases like lupus. 

Sometimes I wake up with pins and needles in one arm or leg when I am NOT in a bent up position (like I know it happens when you sleep on your stomach with your arms above your head). This will happen several nights in the same extremity and then aching dull joint pain in my knee or hip or elbow, then an outbreak on my butt on the same side of the body. It’s freaky.  Obviously those could individually be 100 different things but the pattern and cyclic nature of it makes me think it’s related to these red bumps/blisters. 

How long have you been experiencing this? @TreeHugger44
