I don’t know what to believe cause I still don’t fully understand if my tests that I took are adequate enough to show me I don’t have it. I see so many different reports of how long the window period is but almost all reports make it sound like nothing is 100% which I understand but is it a super high chance of it being accurate like 98% or 99%? That I can feel super confident I don’t have Hsv or is it lower. I think you were telling me it’s like 94% but is that high enough that I can feel confident I don’t have it?
And again 8 months ago I had sex with a condom in which I had one blood test and one swab (with a partial healed rash) 5 and half weeks later and then took another blood test like 5 months later so I just want to feel confident that those results are pretty much accurate. I also had a handjob and from that exposure the blood test was done 6 weeks after but I think you already said that his highly unlikely to get it that way but I saw an article online that said it’s possible but I was wondering if they meant it’s theoretically possible but highly unlikely (like when all online sites say if you have a bump on your head it’s maybe cancer even though it’s a very low chance)?
When my doctor told me to get swabbed as I said before it got me more nervous so do you think this was his mind set that I most probably don’t have it but because the blood tests are not 100% accurate so even though there’s a lot of proof that I don’t have it you would like me to get a swab cause those are considered more accurate (my original swab may not be as accurate cause a waited a week or 2) however I most probably don’t have it so I can stop worrying. Taking another test is just a precaution and to just gaurntee the results but it doesn’t mean it’s because you think i have it. He justs feel i should do it to be 100% sure but again there’s a lot of proof and you believe i highly likely don’t have it?
You also believe that between both blood tests the swab and the fact that econazole nitrate got rid of it is high enough proof to assume I don’t have it and I should stop worrying and thinking I have it and will transmit it
I don’t want to have to take more tests if there’s no reason too and there’s enough proof that I most probably don’t have it
