Thank you for the follow up. To answer your questions:
– No one swapped the sores. The only one a doctor was the initial one on the Penis and neither swapped it. Saw commented that it looks like Herpes. A biopsy was done on my Molluscum but that was it.
– Yes, my parter had cold sores. She hasn’t given oral to me so no. My other encounter I had uncovered oral so almost positive it came from that experience.
– I had a cold sore on my lip. It rose up on the top of my lip and looked like a cold sore. It didn’t stay around very long, just a few days. As regards to the sore on my nose, it has been wanting to come out over the last few weeks. It gets very red, very painful and small white blisters start to form but never fully blister wide open.
– Yes, I had sex with my regular partner after the encounter and I am worried about possible infection. What exactly is the mystery. It’s clear we are both sick with something. I have reason to believe the person I had the encounter with had it. And it seems like red sores and some of the other symptoms fall in that suspicion.
– As for Ibuprofen and L-lysine, I read online about how it eases symptoms of herpes. So far it’s been the only thing that can give me a few hours break from the symptoms.
Sorry for the long rants, I had a lot of information and just wanted to make sure you had the full picture when creating your analysis and recommendation.
One of the main things I’ve picked up is that it looks like they botched up my week 11 test. So it’s very reasonable to believe that 9 weeks, just coming off of acycolvair could have skewed my week 9 results. I guess the only thing I have to gain at this point is a) definitive information on my status and b) antivirals to hopefully help with these symptoms.
I will test again. I will ask for the western blot, I didn’t know about it and I suspect neither do my health care providers. I’ll make sure I request more questions for any follow up questions as needed. Thank you again for your advice.
