So I wanted to ask:
1. Is it possible the recent HSV1 test is correct, and the two old tests are not?
Oh dear, those damn IgG tests. That’s a huge difference in index values and I honestly don’t know what to make of that. A western blot would clarify.
And re-ask:
2. Is it possible the tenderness and soreness I have felt on the head of my penis for 2.5 weeks has been an actual outbreak?
No, I don’t believe that it is.
3. With HSV would it be unusual to feel this tenderness for so long with no other visible symptoms?
Yes that would be very unusual
4. Would it be unusual for blisters or sores to appear starting on day 19 or 20, or would you normally have expected visible symptoms to show up sooner?
I would expect to see any visible symptoms way sooner than 19 days out from the experience, yes.
