1. From what I have read, I think its possible that I did get hsv2 from her but have not developed enough antibodies yet. Is that correct? The value of my hsv2 test was 0.90.
The value of your test was likely <.90, if you look closely. And you may not have had time to develop antibody, that is correct. But with using condoms everytime, there is an excellent chance you are not infected.
2. Is there any questions you can ask me to determine if my symptoms are indeed a breakout? Is there anything that would rule out a breakout, like the area rapidly healing or not blistering? I realize this would be guessing, but I would still appreciate it.
The rash on your thigh sounds nothing at all like a herpes outbreak to me but perhaps a fungal infection? Have you tried any anti fungal medicine on it? I would look for blistering with herpes.
3. Was her giving me oral a low risk activity? How low risk?
It is likely zero risk.
4. Do you recommend testing again and his soon?
If you are going to stop having sex with her, then you can test 16 weeks from the last time you had sex with her.
But here's the most important thing about your post. Her HSV 2 index value is really low. There is an 85% chance that it is a false positive. She definitely needs a western blot confirmatory test. When was the last time she had sex with anyone else?
