Reply To: Does Valtrex affect Herpeselect IGM test primary episode

[tinglered]

I am doing my best to latch on to this good news latest blood test.

1) But, what about the very small white puss dot that I popped on my shaft just last night? This was located at the exact spot where I have been having a recurrent patch of dry skin since the encounter 7 weeks ago (which I have never had before). Where that tiny dot was the skin looks different; slightly pinker and maybe slightly raised (dot sized). My scrotum continues to be red (which is not normal) and the skin tighter looking, and the shaft skin all seems more wrinkled; it just is not my normal flesh colored relaxed group down there. I continue to have the burning and tingle through the whole genital region. The burning/tingling drives me crazy as I feel it at work; in the car, trying to relax at home and has been intermittent over last 7 weeks (not prior). It is a constant reminder that something is going on that was not happening before the encounter 7 weeks ago.

2) Also, I cannot wait another 9 weeks for the 16 week mark Herpeselect test. If I go in 3 weeks (at 10 weeks post exposure) would that get me towards 90% certainty of results?

Thank you again for your input
