I did an other blood test, negative I got the same results than the previous blood test Hsv1 IgG < 0,2 Hsv2 IgG < 0,2 Hsv 1+2 IgM 0,3 I did it 4 months and half after having taking risks (20 weeks) Should I be confident not having H ? The other thing is that the tests i've made 3 months ago showed that i had streptococcus B (detected through urethra swab). A first doctor told me i didn't need to have a treatment for that but the dermatologist i saw 3 weeks ago gave me antibiotics and i've been swabed again this week and it is negative. I am confused because i still have the same symptoms and i was expecting a positive result for streptococcus B (assumption that the antibiotics were not efficient), that's why now i am stressed again with H

do you think i should do a second blood test ?

Hi I am still concerned and it sucks a lot. I am feeling itching since 2 weeks now after only 1 week without pain, it last again 2 weeks ago the last time. What could I do ? I saw again a new dermatologist last week who told me it was not H and there was no need to be swabbed again because my last results were negative (I had a negative blood test after 3 months, see above) and a negative swab test (but i never had any blister, i have some irritation on the top of my penis, on the urethra and around). I feel very lost, I can't deal with the pain and itching sensations. I am also very scared abouth the time needed to heal completely, it's almost like I have a continuous OB since maybe 1 month.

thank you Judith ! Yes i did a swab test as well (PCR method which is quicker than doing a culture and more sensitive) which was negative Today is indeed a better day than the last 2 months.. thanks for your help and support

Thank you whitedaisies and dancer for your answers The symptoms i had which made me think to H will remain a mystery... I will try to believe to this result and keep get connected to you guys

Hi I just get my blood test results: Hsv1 IgG < 0,2 Hsv2 IgG < 0,2 Hsv 1+2 IgM 0,3 The conclusion is negative for all but i am wondering whether it is reliable because i did the tests 3 months after my risk exposure and 3 weeks after having antivirals for 10 days. - Can the antivirals make the antibodies dissapear ? - Is 3 months a too short delay ? Thank you

Thank you for your reply It would be wonderful if someone with H near the urethra can share his experience as my guess is that it is really sensitive at this location I am so scared because many things trigger the pain and make the sore come back, underwear friction and even masturbation i stop it for a while but now i feel i won't be able to have any sexual activity without pain

Hi all, I got genital H. (don't know yet whether it's hsv 1 or 2 but it should be hsv1) It is located around my urethra and i have a sore since one month which didn't heal completely Why is it so long to recover ? The sore is not that big but it hurts, not every day, but often, the pain comes and goes away I am really confused, i can not know if it is an outbreak or not Can the skin at this part of the penis become stronger with time ? and more resistant to the virus or will it be always sensitive because of the location ? So afraid of it

hi seeker i am not sure that blood tests are available here yes sometimes it hurts when urine hits it, not always but when they are more red spots i got tea tree oil and will follow your advice i killed one bird yesterday and will hunt the second one today

i am exhausted of all this tests in France, you have first to see a doctor which tells you then to go to a laboratory for a swab and each time, it takes time.. i feel i give up, i lost some much energy, saw many doctors and i even don't know what i have it's pretty suure it's H @ Willow : i cheched everything, even thrush which was negative (it was taken from inside my urethra as well) i can not believe i will have a sensitive and painful penis for the rest of my life

Hi all I wanted to ask you something I couldn't be diagnosized for H yet, since i only had a swab from inside my urethra and not from my sore which is located around my urethra. I mean I never had any blister, it is a small sore, with some red spots. I have been told inside urethra is close to the sore so the test would have detect H.. well i am not confident since i had the H symptoms with itching and burning feelings (all my other STD including yeast and bacteries tests are negative so i was expected a positive diagnosis with this H test.) I am worried because i had this rash 4 weeks after my risk exposure only for a few days then 4 weeks after again but this time for almost 3 weeks ! (it was the worst with a lot of burning during a whole weekend) I never had sex after my risk exposure but when i masturbated recently and i care about waiting for the top of the penis to look normal again (maybe 4 days), my penis hurts, like i know it is still sensitive. I don't feel the pleasure in the same way than before because i feel some pain ! Is it normal ? Can masturbation trigger the pain ? How long do i need to recover ? Thank you for your advices

Yes, absolutely Dancer ;-) I wish i could not freak out so easily, but it is stronger than me !

no it is not, ouf ! like we said in france

hi friends i just came back from the ophtalmologist and its a viral conjunctivitis, i am relieved ! it would have been hard to deal with different kind of H in same time thank you for your help and talk with you later regarding genital H...

thanks seeker i wish it would have been in the swimming pool with chlorine but it was only in my bath in my bathroom, without any soap ! anyway, it's done, im gonna see the ophtalmologist tomorrow
