Constant Symptoms

[Cantsleepeat]

Hi Terri,

I have a western blot already purchased with you and I will be getting it done in 3 weeks or so. I wanted to ask your thoughts on my ongoing symptoms and my testing. Here is the timeline.

Day 0 – Protected encounter
Day 2- Thigh irritation begins, feels like chafed thigh and sensitive to boxers rubbing
Day 4 – Day 15 99.2-99.5 Temp
Day 5 – Irritation worsens and start to get a rash in perineum, around anus, and in both groin folds
Days 6-42 Rash persists while fading and worsening. Burning feeling around all those areas, irritation bad the entire time
Day 56-current day 64 – Finally appear to be redness free, still feel burning feeling while walking in all three areas, still sensitive to irritation and unable to wear my boxer briefs

Testing done at labcorp below

I am OHSV1 positive at 27igg, rest of 10 panel always negative

HSV2 IGG results below
Day 8 I tested 1.43 igg with negative supplemental
Day 28 I tested 1.41 igg with negative supplemental
Day 42 I tested 1.27 igg with negative supplemental
Day 63 I test 1.38 igg with POSITIVE supplemental

I am so scared that I tested positive now on the supplemental. What is the likelihood that I am in fact positive with these test results? I have seen so many doctors and all of them wrote me off saying its impossible to be a STD. Please share your thoughts with me. Thank you

I forgot to mention no response to hydrocortisone cream, ketoconazole cream, aclovate ointment, triamcinolone ointment and oral fluconazole. I saw plenty of Dr’s with no diagnosis made other than dermatitis vs std.

With the western blot, is 12 weeks full accuracy? I understand the test is 99 percent accurate at 12 weeks but what percentage of people actually seroconvert by 12 weeks?
