Reply To: Possible initial outbreak in nose

[Rockytj]

Culture came back negative. And I spoke with my most recent partner, and he’s had nothing pop up in two weeks so I’m feeling more at ease at about that.

I do tend to get fixated and do have some OCD and have been nitpicking every sensation everywhere, noting every red mark etc all over my body: face, legs and groin. Based on my possible exposure (which was none in my legs and groin, just in my lips) it doesn’t make sense for things to be spread out all over my body, and the likelihood of auto inoculation in so many places is unlikely considering how fastidious I am about hand washing. So for now I’m feeling good, and planning on repeating my IGG testing at 16 week, and if anything pops up getting swabbed and PCR tested. It hasn’t helped that I have sensitive skin and recently switched soap which has caused some general irritation as well.

Do those sound like reasonable assumptions/course of action?

Thanks for your help
