1. Is 14 days after onset of symptoms too late for a reliable swab test?
Not necessarily, especially if symptoms are still present and the swab test is a PCR< not a culture.
2. What are the chances of transmission from a one time unprotected encounter?
Very low but not impossible
3. Is 12 weeks long enough to wait for a reliable WB blood test?
It is
4. How likely is an equivocal IGG result to change to a positive inbetween 8 and 12 weeks?
Very unlikely
5. Can you explain why my symptoms make infection seem unlikely when the pain was nearly unbearable?
I think the pain that is continuous makes it seem like its not herpes as that's not how herpes normally behaves.
