On October 14 I had sex with a tinder date, I used a condom. On October 15, 16, 17, and 18 I was feeling a very bad burning sensation in my penis, it was very irritating i saw mucous like substance coming out when i peed. On October 17, I went to the clinic, 3 days later, I got my results; everything was negative, it was too early, I realized. However, on October 21st, I still wasn’t feeling right, I got tested again at the emergency room for a urinalysis and a std panel blood test, the results came in on October 25th they said the urine was clean, but my blood test came back positive for HSV2, and negative for hsv1. However, I had hsv1 when I was a teenager. Also to mention, the emergency room did a PCR DNA blood test, not a swab test. I waited, and went to a different clinic on October 26th, got another blood and urine test, my result came back on October 28th for that clinic; I tested positive for Gonorrhea, positive for hsv1, and negative for hsv2. So then I waited. On November 4th, I went to mount sinai NY E.R, got another blood test and urine test. On November 7th I got my results from mount sinai, gonorrhea was negative after taking doxycycline, and HSV2 was at <0.91, they explained to me that it was a negative. So I moved on. However; on November 6th, I went back too the first hospital that said I was hsv2 positive, did another test, and got my results back on November 11th saying my hsv1 and hsv2 was negative. However, like I said had hsv1 when I was a teenager. They did a pcr dna blood test, not swab. Fast forward, on November 23rd I went back to do another test at an urgent care facility, got my results back on November 25th saying I’m negative for hsv2 at <0.2, and tested positive for hsv1. On December 7th I went to the urologist and got a blood test done again, on December 8th my results were in I was positive for hsv1 and negative for hsv2 at <0.90. All this has been about 9 weeks.
