1. Are you concerned that the tingling occurred in the period when herpes symptoms are supposed to occur
I am not!
2. Online I saw herpes symptoms such as tingling wouldn’t last an daily for an entire month. Is this further proof that I’m not infected
It is indeed
3. On Reddit and online I see a lot of people saying they got herpes off a one night stand, how come it happens to a lot of people if one exposure is truly low risk
It is low risk but not zero risk. It happens, but sometimes, people think they got it from a one night stand but they really had it previously but just recognized a first outbreak.
4. I forgot to include that I felt itching in the areas between my testicle and thigh on both sides. This also happened within the week after exposure. The itching only lasted a few minutes until I relieved it but got irritated after. The skin was irritated but not inflamed and it went away after a day or two. Could this be herpetic?
Very unlikely with no skin lesions
5. If I test negative via igg after 10 weeks would you recommend I move on
I would. We know that the IgG test picks up 92% of infections at that point compared to western blot
6. I also shaved my pubic area a few days before which may have led to me getting razor burns. Could herpes enter through my pubic area due to this
Yes, there is greater risk of acquiring HSV is shaving has just occurred as that opens the hair follicle a bit.
7. Do you think my symptoms could represent a primary herpes infection, one that’s possibly minor to the point most people wouldn’t notice it
I really doubt that.
