Tested 3 times! Twice negative. WTF?!?!

[LifeGoesOn3]

Hello,

I haven't been around for a while but felt compelled to share my story since I last visited. Since I was diagnosed in November 2016 as an asymptomatic type 2 herpes sufferer, I Haas this crushing feeling that something wasn't right. I've been dealing with hpv (the warts variety) ever since so I frequent the obgyn often. Anywho, intermittently I will ask for an std panel to keep check on my status...you know, see if HIV comes up or something as I hear it takes time like most infections to appearing tests, etc. So since my 1st test, I've tested negative for both type 1 and 2 hsv. It was the IgG. First in February and just this month. Makes me wonder if the science is right about the disease Or if in fact my 1st test was mishandled on some way. Yea, I've asked for an investigation cuz hello it was depressing to say the least. But not as depressing as having to currently deal with cryotherapy and cancer fears. I think though that I'm more hopeful that this will actually go away over time. Anyway, that's my update. I'll continue testing periodically as everyone who has been or is currently sexually active so that they know heir status at all times. Ciao!!

November 2015. Sheesh...

Can you post the values on the 3 tests please? That will help us to see if we can explain the discrepancy in the tests ... short explanation may be that if you were under 3.5 with no symptoms that you had a false positive the first time around

 

As for cancer and genital warts - that one doesn't turn into cancer - it's a nuisance version of HPV ... that said, the CDC says anyone who is sexually active will get at least 1 type of HPV.... and out of the 40 or so types only 2 of them are cancer producing. So try not to over-obsess about the cancer issue. It takes at least 5 yrs for that type to turn cancerous so if you stay on top of things with regular pap smears you should catch it early and they zap it and it's gone....

November: HSV 5.3 IgG

February: HSV <.91 IgG

May: HSV <.91 IgG

 

I told WestoverHeights about this too and she thought that perhaps there was an issue in the lab with how the sample was handled. As you remember, I was negative twice before the 5.3.

 

It's not fun having your nana burnt up on occasion.

I would do the Western Blot then as .91 is still a borderline positive in my book given the 5.3. Westover Heights can help you with that.

 

And I get the freezing off the warts - but at some point they will stop, disappear, and odds are never rear their ugly little heads again. I got them from my second sexual partner (and I got HSV2 from my first ... yeah... and people wonder why I don't gamble...LOL) Got them frozen off a couple times and haven't seen them since. What pissed me off about that one was the guy was taking meds for them when we were having sex and he never told me.... *I* found the pills on his dresser one day after it was too late :(

They seem to be pretty pervasive and there are multiple. Mainly in the perineum and anal area with two on the clit hood. I'm negative on everything else. Everything. I just hope that they will eventually go away.

Also the baseline is less than .91 = negative. No actual value was given just the fact that it was below .91.
