Reply To: Equivocal HSV 2

Clearly the wait for additional testing is going to be a hard one. I’m acting now like my 9 week 1.01 H HSV 2 equivocal result is positive. Especially since my previous HSV testing over the years has been clearly negative. Since getting that result I keep thinking back over the past two months looking for symptoms. (i.e. the numbness & aching I’ve already mentioned, I had a leg pain off and on for maybe a week, that spot I mentioned, etc) Even though I haven’t seen anything that is clearly a patch of blisters. (nothing painful in my groin area at all beyond what I would call normal itching, although sometimes I think I feel tingling) I know anxiety can also conjure up a lot of symptoms, so now I just don’t know. I contacted the masseuse, and I had to explain what the term HSV meant, and she said she was at her doctors office in January and had a good report. I was very respectful, and offered to pay for testing, but she kindly insisted that she was well taken care of in that regard. She wished me luck, and that was it. (although she said she appreciated the phone call, and I felt like that was the right thing to do regardless of the outcome) With all of this in mind, a few questions…1.) Have many cases have you seen of HSV 2 being passed from someone’s mouth to someone’s genitals? 2.) I feel like my situation is high risk, in your opinion is that a fair assessment? 3.) I’m washing my hands every time after I touch my genitals. With my situation my mouth & hands should be fine correct? (in other words, is kissing ok? Right now all I can do is keep an eye on things, and IgG test again at the end of 3 months. (with WB at 16w)
