No Idea What To Do.. Please Help???


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Im an 18 year old male and think I have HSV2. Please help me out guys.

 

So i've found myself in a sort of sticky situation.

On February 12th, I had sex with a female that does not know her status. A few days after I went to get an std test and everything came back negative, excluding H, because I did not test for it. a week and a half after, I started to feel sick, but only for a day I felt swollen lymph nodes, body aches, then it left. I never got sores or anything on my gential area. A few weeks later, I decided to get a H test. It came back positive for H type 1. I got the tests 6 weeks after, 8, 10, and 12 weeks after I had sex. I have never had sores, and I had swabs done on some skin that came back negative for both types of H as well. All skin swabs came back negative and all blood tests came back positive for H1 but negative for h2. On week 10, my doctor put me on Valtrex for 7 days, just in case. I still never had sores or anything. So heres the thing. Im going to display my symptoms and stuff on a chart

Other Notes and Observations:

-The pains that I feel are intermittent, but are constant at the same time. Like I will feel them for a month but they dont hurt 24/7, they just come and go every couple of minutes or hours.

-Sometimes, My testicles hurt throughout this.

-My shaft hurts sometimes as well, but rarely and it only lasts for seconds.its mainly my legs.

-Last week, I was itching my shaft and right after, It became red. The next day it became purple like a bruise and hurt to touch like a bruise. The next day, the bruise became a scar and then it fell off with no mark or lesions or outbreaks or cuts or fluids. it still kind of hurts to touch

-I got an HSV1 oral outbreak a few weeks ago, and gave it to some people. Could this cause all of this?

 

I had sex with my partner through out all of this, and she also gets these kinds of symptoms, but no outbreaks. I dont get any outbreaks either. I am pretty sure that I have previous exposure to hsv 1 too.

 

My questions..

 

Are my IGG results accurate after 12 weeks even if I have hsv1 already and even if I took valtrex for a week? I heard that valtrex slows down seroconversion, and I also heard that 12 weeks is not enough for an accurate igg if you are already positive for hsv1.

 

should I stop having sex?

 

When/ how long should I wait to get tested for an accurate IGG?

 

Could oral HSV1 cause all of this?

 

Please advise me and help me as much as possible.

 

Thanks guys!
