  1. No I have not. Can I get that as a male? Also would that relate to the irritation on my lip. As well?
  2. Believe I may have been exposed to hsv. Had sensitivity on the head of my penis 1.5 weeks after unprotected sex with a girl and tingling on my lip a few days after that. The irritation on my penis and lip continues for about 5 weeks. It seemed to then go away for a week, however, it has now come back after a week. I think it's due to work stress. I had a swab, igm, and IGG. All negative, although I know it was too early for the IGG. I am now approaching 8 weeks from my potential exposure, so is it too early for a retest? The test results suggested a retest in 4-6 weeks. Online some people say 12 weeks, others say 16. I don't know what to do. My symptoms are not typical of herpes, but I am still very concerned because I don't know what else could be causing this. Any advice is appreciated
  3. Not sure I have HSV currently. All my tests came back negative, but it was likely too early for an accurate IGG. Anyways, I've had this tingle on my lip for over a week now. I believed it was the prodrome symptoms, however, it has been occurring for over a week with no outbreak and it has not subsided. What is the likelihood this is caused by HSV ? I've been told tingling would only last a day or two but I am still concerned
  4. So you think this tingle on my lip is unrelated? It's been going on for over a week now and I've been told if it was herpes, this tingle would only last a day or two and lead to an outbreak
  5. Ok. Will try to be as concise as possible while telling the entire story. I had unprotected sex and briefly received oral. 1.5 weeks later I started to experience sensitivity on the head of my penis. I obviously became worried. Another 1.5 weeks after that, I started to experience a tingle on my lip. I'm worried I autoinnoculated. The tingle has been going on for about a week at this point. In both spots, I have not noticed any other symptoms. No itchiness, no swelling, redness, or blisters. I received many tests. Swab, IGM, and IGG. All came back negative, however, there was no blister so I am unsure if the swab is reliable. And the IGG was done 3 weeks after my potential exposure, so my understanding is the test was too early to truly be conclusive. I know IGM has issues with false positives, but my doctor said its purpose is to identify a recent exposure. I'm trying to see if anyone thinks I can trust my negative IGM result and assume I have not been recently exposed? I do plan to get another IGG in about 2-3 months when it is supposed to be more reliable. But in the mean time I am concerned about the on going sensitivity. I am unsure if I should say anything to potential partners between now and when I receive another IGG. On one hand I don't want to potentially expose someone and harm them, but I'm also worried about scaring someone away over what may possibly be nothing. Have been driving myself crazy with this over the last three weeks. Any advice is appreciated
