Western blot

[Mohammaddaif]

Jan-9-2022 I had sex with a girl and oral sex which I don’t know her. The outbreaks..1- 7 dayes after expose one pimple on right lower lip 2- 21 days one pimple on the left lower lip
The first two were more likely to be pimples and they weren’t painful and haven’t drain any water.
After (95) days of expose I got western blot test which came back negative.
3- (98) days after expose i got an outbreak below my lower lip after I popped it (Clear water) came out of it 4- 111 after expose i got out break on my left cheek after I popped it (clear water) came out of it.
Then for a whole year, I haven’t got any outbreak, so I redid the western blot after (1 year of expose)which came back negative i sad that’s it. I don’t have hsv put one months ago I got another outbreak on my right cheek which is painful and (clear water) come out of it after I popped it.my mistake I didn’t make swap test for them. I don’t mind if I got hsv1 but I’m worried if I got (hsv2).
My question. 1- could western blot miss my diagnose for hsv2 even though I did it 95 days and one year after expose, and I have never took any anti-viral?
2- depends on the tests i had which one more likely I got exposed to hsv1 or hsv2 or I haven’t got hsv at all?

I do not think that the western blot missed an HSV 2 infection. If you continue to get these things that worry you, you should either purchase some HSV PCR swab kits or set up with a provider in your area to let you get in right away of you have these symptoms again and be sure the swab is a PCR swab, not a culture.

Thank you terri for the answer but I would like to ask you.
1-after the two western blot that i got one after 95 days and one after a year and both results were negative.. what do you think I got exposed to?

2- I got the symptoms three months after I had sex two times consecutive and then a whole year I haven’t got anything, then I got one in a month ago,so depending on the long time Period between these out brakes. do you think that an HSV1 and the Western blot missed it ?

exposed to? I don’t think I understand the question.

2- I got the symptoms three months after I had sex two times consecutive and then a whole year I haven’t got anything, then I got one in a month ago,so depending on the long time Period between these out brakes. do you think that an HSV1 and the Western blot missed it ?
I don’t think so, no.
But again, if you have a concerning symptom and you feel the blot could be wrong, get a swab test of the symptoms

Thank you terri for answering me.
but I have some questions I wanna share with you please. because I’m planning to get married after three months. and these symptoms that I told you could take a year or more to show up again.

1-what is your feeling about what happened with me, should I trust the western blot that i did twice which came negative and consider myself I don’t have an hsv1 and hsv2 ?

2-if No, Do i have to tell the girl I want to marry about that I concerned I have hsv, but I might tell her about something which I don’t have and that coluld broke the relationship ? if No should I take any anti-viral before I get married?
