Reply To: Possible Herpes or other infection

[Emr63]

Hi Terri,

I just wanted to follow up from our e-visit on 11/29 with a few questions as this is still killing me mentally. As we discussed in the video conference you still believe this is nothing related to herpes, but I had addressed that her test might have been equivocal even though she is saying her doctor told her it was negative. Given that information and the symptoms I described and the details
Regarding the initial exposure. My questions are as follows

1. If her test was indeed equivocal, but she seems to be living her life with no symptoms and the belief that she’s negative, what would the transmission rate be to me if she was indeed infected given the details of exposure
? (Half of encounter protected, half not when condom broke)
2. If my symptoms were somehow herpes related even though you have said they weren’t herpetic to you, would it be normal they be lasting this long which is now 6 weeks?
3. Would pelvic pain alone, intermittent pain near the side obliques be indicative of a herpes infection if no tingling or burning or any sores are present?

I had mentioned I am probably getting retested at 6 weeks or 7 weeks to see if my igg score went up at all. Again, I am sorry to be a bother to you with this, but it is difficult for me to live my life normally again with this hanging over my head. I attached to this thread in hopes you remember our video conference and for reference. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
