It has now been almost 4 weeks since the past exposure. Do you think I should take the IgG test now to get a baseline on my status, or should I wait until 6 weeks or maybe even longer to? Does the IgM test tell us anything at this point? I understand if anything it is sensitive and gives more false positives. Does it make it lean towards less likely that I was infected in this last event? Thank you for your time, please let me know if I need to add for any additional questions.
Just wanted to add he did a full physical on me and checked my groin area. I showed him what is left of the sore on my thigh. He said it didn’t look like anything and not to worry about it. He also didn’t seem to think much of my symptoms, and that I should not be concerned.
Thanks again, this site is an amazing resource!
Hello,
Wanted to ask a follow up question. I went to my internal medicine doctor and had him screen me for all STD’s Everything came back negative. Unfortunately he did an IGM HSV test instead of IGG. The test was specifically a HSV 1/2 IgM Ab w/Rflx Titer. It came back negative for HSV1 and negative for HSV2. The test was done at day 23 after my possible exposure. Can I take any relief knowing the result of this test. Should I still go back and get an IgG test done? Still feeling tingly in my thighs and groin and stomach area. Much less after hearing this negative result. Thank you again for your insight!
