I had a herpes igg test at 3 months can I stop testing now?
13 weeks to be exact
CDC recommended to me i be tested again in six months. Not real sure of the test you had but I know it takes a while for your body to build antibodies.
If you didn't have it three months ago, then yes...
If you come in contact with the virus you'd of already had a outbreak...
3 months is perfect, I just did mine today and will need to wait 2weeks for the results..... A follow up check after six months would not hurt either. At 3 months the values would have rised a little. My 7weeks test was 0.1 for both strains. If my 3 month test shows a rise but still neg then it may be taking more time to build antibodies. However I was told that 3 months is enough to turn positive. Let me know how things turn out.
Yes. A definite negative at 3 months is considered good, so no need to test again.
Hi only reason why I ask is because I'm still feeling symptoms of it because
Hi only reason why I ask is because I'm still felling symptoms of herpes like the leg pain in my hip calf thighs knees and heels, and also I'm feeling burning sensations and needle like sensations on my pubic area region. And pain in my anus but can't see anything.also pain in my butt cheeks. I really don't have any visible sores. But I did have one small bump in my Pubic region but it didn't ulcerate or anything. Also headaches. I've read online that a small amount of people don't produce antibodies how rare is that? And does this sound like herpes?
Outbreaks can last up to21 days unfortunately...
Thankfully the longest one I've encountered was ten days, but yes they are painful at first...
Yes but I don't have an outbreak I would show a picture but I don't know how to through phone
If you have never had any actual skin lesions and have now tested negative at 3 months by IgG, then you should assume you're negative. Tingling and related sensations can be anything.
Do u get itchy at the outbreak area?
Not really if I do it's like a split second
I'm really not sure the first time because I'm Farley young and I didn't know anything about herpes and I shaved recently before going to the std clinic to get checked out and I had bumps down there and wanted me to get tested for herpes. And I was scared because I do scratch the inside on my anus a lot that I might have spread it down there but I don't see anything. And I'm negative at three months so my mom said if I did have it either hsv1 or 2 I would've shown positive at three months especially with all these symptoms is that true?
If you came into contact with herpes you'd know 2-21 days...
You'd have a bad itch followed by a outbreak...
They kinda almost look like a pimple blister...
It would also burn when you for the first few outbreaks...
Burn when you pee***
Yeah I know I had a really bad itch down there but I recently shaved so I couldn't really tell. But I've been stressing and crying ALOT and my mom and doctor said if I did have it I would have another outbreak on my penis by now. She also said most outbreaks for males are on the penis
You would definitely know if it was herpes, trust me...
Maybe it's cause you had just shaved...
If you haven't tested positive for it yet, most likely you don't have it, if u have some worries or doubt reassure yourself and test again, it definitely wouldn't hurt...
My late bf whom I contracted the virus from had the outbreaks on the shaft of his penis...
Yeah I never had bumps on my penis or shaft just on my pubic area. But I guess my 3 month negative is definitely that I do t have it correct
