PLEASE REFUND

[LifeMovesForward]

There is some sort of error on the forum. I paid once on March 15th of this year and it would not allow me to ask any questions. I came back November 12th and it still had not registered the March 15th payment and I still could not ask a question. I paid again today and it still wouldn’t open the forum, then I paid a third time and finally the forum opened for me to ask a question. Can you please refund the 2 payments so i am only left with the 1 question and 2 follow ups? I have emailed support back in March, April and June and never had any type of response or follow up.

I’m so sorry this has happened. I’ve been working with the webmaster to solve this issue but without success so far. I have refunded both payments that you made this week

7 years ago I was diagnosed with genital HSV1. Classic primary outbreak.

2017 swab Culture:
HSV1 Isolated
HSV2 Not isolated

6 years go by with no recurrent outbreaks.
Last year I began a new relationship with my boyfriend. Before we had sex we got tested:

Boyfriends results April 2022:
HSV1: 32
HSV2: <.91
My results April 2022:
HSV1: 25
HSV2: <.91
4 months into our relationship I experienced intense itching, bilateral inguinal lymph node pain, several fissures between my vaginal opening and anus, and several ulcers/sores, as well as white discharge. It was about thanksgiving of 2022 so I couldn’t get it swabbed. I had a telehealth appointment, and they just gave me meds for yeast and HSV. Since I went 6 years with no HSV1 recurrence and all of a sudden months after a new partner, I begin to have symptoms, my doctor suspected HSV2. My boyfriend denied cheating and agreed to purchase a test online while I was having the symptoms.

November 2022:
Boyfriends results:
HSV2 <.91 negative

6 weeks later I got tested.
December 2022:
My results:
HSV1: 50
HSV2: <.91 negative

13 weeks after symptoms:
My results:
HSV1: 53
HSV2: <.91

16 weeks after symptoms:
My results:
HSV1: 49.80
HSV2: <.91

Boyfriends results:
HSV1: 42
HSV2: <.91

in November, January, February and March I kept having such symptoms. Itching, fissures, sores, and white discharge.

It has now been 1 year since all of this. My boyfriend just did his annual testing and yet again
HSV1: 45
HSV2: <.91

I saw all his results with my own eyes, he gave me the login to his account. He has been my ONLY partner in the last 3 years

In your professional opinion do you feel my symptoms could have been HSV2 and/or do I have reasonable cause to pursue the western blot if both me and my boyfriend remain HSV2 negative via quest and LabCorp IGG?

I did notice my HSV1 antibody literally doubled after that episode? Does antibody count go up with recurrences?

Also, is lymph node pain normal for a recurrence?

I don’t think you are infected with HSV 2, no. You’ve mounted a very robust response to HSV 1 as reflected in your increased index value for HSV 1, which is good. If you continue to have troubling symptoms, I would suggest that you see a provider for swabs of the genital area to see if they can sort out what might be going on.
