I went ahead and got a 4 week test and a 7.5 week test for hsv2 and they were both negative which I am happy over except my last results were taken before the weekend which was a mistake for me to do anxiety wise. Regardless I had a couple follow up questions.
1. How confident can I be in these results, I don’t have hsv 1 and have never had a cold sore?
2. Why do people say that herpes whitlow is an extremely painful infection while a lot of sources say other herpes infections can go unnoticed rather easily?
3. I’m gonna try and hold off excessive testing so I’m gonna try to go until the 12 week mark. I know you said I don’t need testing in general but I was having so much trouble focusing in had to do it.
