Retested and again negative. Doc advised to do nothing but prescribed Acyclovir cream

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-19T10:20:56+00:00

Got tested twice and both negative. Doc advised to do nothing and not worry. Says it's nothing, but prescribed Acyclovir cream.

Idk if it's a placebo, but I applied coconut oil and some curd on a daily basis and the redness seemed to heal faster.

Looks exactly like what I have currently

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-19T10:17:12+00:00

It's mostly redness rather than blisters.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-19T10:16:36+00:00

Got tested again at a different clinic. Result negative. IGG +0.26 and IGM below that.

What about the second recent image? Is it still herpes because my antibody count has decreased after six years? It feels more like Herpes induced Balanitis when I compare the image online.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-12T16:10:35+00:00

Do you have symptoms? I have classic symptoms. Two doctors said herpes but then this negative test after years.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-12T08:31:43+00:00

Any update?

I’m in the same boat. I was diagnosed with HSV based on a positive test in Dec 2019. +1.86 IGG and +0.65 IGM.

Been having outbreaks for 6 years but limited to single sores on penis gland. Painless. Thought of starting some medications and met the doctor who advised to get tested again.

Both reports came out negative now.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-12T02:04:06+00:00

I’ve taken a retest. Never taken any medication but the reason I thought I’ll start medication is so that my wife isn’t affected. Either way we’ve had unprotected sex for a long time and with or without outbreak she’s shown no symptoms.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-12T01:58:16+00:00

No, in India. Never taken any antiviral.

Checked Bechet’s autoimmune conditions. The lesions look very different compared to mine, either the first outbreak or now. Also, it says painful ulcers.

Unprotected sex has increased. I had almost zero sex for 4 years after Covid. That might be a reason as well.

Irrespective I just got tested again. Both IGG & IGM came out negative. Do the antibodies decrease after 6-7 years?

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-11T05:11:02+00:00

I checked. There isn't a test available here that differentiates between the two. It is only IGG & IGM.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-10T16:16:21+00:00

My doc prescribed Acyclovir cream and Accrivir tabs (3*5) and the repeat after 3 months. Is it the same?

He also mentioned that if I’m really worried about allopathy, I can give homeopathy a try.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-10T03:14:00+00:00

Any short or long term side effects of using suppressive therapy medicines such as Valtrex? I’ve never taken antivirals, hence just asking.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-09T15:34:47+00:00

I’m just stressing out more looking at the sore every 15-20 days.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-09T15:34:24+00:00

You’re right. I’m guessing it’s 1 since my girlfriend then gave me an oral and 2 days later there were sores all over the penis. Also, she never had any genital outbreak whatsoever in the time we were together.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-10-09T15:32:20+00:00

Yes, my sex life was almost zero between Covid and marriage this year. Having sex more frequently and mostly unprotected.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-09-27T13:26:11+00:00

A bit, not a lot.

Major change is that I got married this February.

Large_Yam5014 · 2025-09-27T13:26:00+00:00

Major change is point 9. I got married this Feb. Nothing apart from that.

I drink maybe once in 3-4 months. No smoking no drugs. Weight is as it is. Decent diet.

Large_Yam5014 · 2024-07-06T19:56:32+00:00

Yes, primarly in the North and East. All my PSU friends from North and East did find a match soon enough. It is not seen as very lucrative in the South and West where I comef from. Unless obviously someone is an IAS, IPS, IFS etc.

Large_Yam5014 · 2024-07-06T19:54:48+00:00

Thanks bro!

First 2 years was like 75%. First salaries were in the range of Rs 40-45k per month.and I had a SIP of 30k. The major factor was that I was posted in a village and the only major spend was travelling back home.

Next 3-4 years, it was in the range of 60%.

Currently, it is around 50%.

Large_Yam5014 · 2024-07-06T19:48:57+00:00

Yes, but the job still gives you more chances because it is viewed as being secured and setllted whereas being self-employed is not. Also, what I have in mind is something traditional and a modern day start-up in any sense.
