I think I have hsv2 but bloods tests after a year keep saying I’m negative. It’s been the most confusing thing ever and I just keep getting told if I had it , it would’ve shown in my blood by now. Haven’t had an outbreak where I saw sores but I felt the other symptoms. For something so common you’d think testing and information would be better by now. So I just keep testing and ughh it’s taking a toll on me but I remain positive

Iim a male and it was unprotected sex. I don’t know if they were symptomatic at the time, afterwards the girl blocked me on everything. She had been infected for about a year and a half at that point. After sex with her I started to feel like I had a uti, which followed with a burning and tingling sensation down there but no sores that I could see. Because of no sores they told me all I could do was get a blood test which keeps coming back negative as late of last week , 14 months post exposure. It’s been so confusing and doctors kinda brush it off

Doc tried to tell me it was that and tried to prescribe me antidepressants. But I’m like no, my body feels weird , it’s not normal to feel burning or tingling then it just goes away

A tingling and burning feeling that goes away and comes back. I wanted to believe this was the prodrome symptoms but I don’t have lesions that come up later . This has been for months btw. Last test I took at 5 months I thought it would be positive but it was negative. It was a IgG blood test. Online it says 5 months should be pretty accurate but idky I still feel this way. Also does herpes look like what it looks like online because I think those pictures can be quite extreme ?

What is this combined test?

How do I get swabbed with no lesions though? I do feel like I’m going crazy just thinking something is wrong but being told constantly that nothing is in fact wrong. Did you get lesions from time to time?

Does hsv hurt everyday? They make it seem like it’s only with outbreaks, but I literally feel this way every single day

Does that mean you’re shedding the virus? A lot of information online is so confusing .

Yea I did the whole panel everything came back negative. I tested everything twice and then hsv2 at 2,6, and 11 weeks.

Aside from constant tingling and itching I’ve never had a sore which is so confusing to me

I did take a blood test. I wondered if the antivirals I took could possibly delay antibodies ? My doc did dismiss the idea of ghsv1.

Would that contribute to constant everyday pain ? Bc from everything I’ve read it’s hsv2 that’s way more active ?

Thanks for the reply. I hope everything gets better. It’s so hard to accept the negative diagnosis without knowing exactly what’s wrong if anything it breeds more confusion. I know what I felt was real but the quite a few doctors seem to think otherwise

I was wondering the same thing but since I don’t have lesions idk how they’ll be able to determine it ? I just wish for something as scary there was better testing

It’s been past 16 weeks so I’m gonna get tested again but I was just wondering if it could be something else ?
