Do any of these symptoms sound like hsv2 to you?
They do not and condoms reduce transmission of HSV 2 from males to females by 96% so the condom was likely protective here
Could I possibly be experiencing prodrome symptoms even though I’ve never had an outbreak?
I seriously doubt that
Do you think this could’ve just been a reaction to the latex that led to something else?
I do think it could be that or something else but probably not herpes
I’m so confused at this point. Of course my doctor doesn’t recommend a test because I don’t have typical symptoms.
If you remain worried, you could do the western blot and avoid the possibility of a false positive on the IgG test completely. It’s really your call on this and no one else’s including your doctor.
