2

3

4

sometimes i have little bit groin pain and itching on my penis are these symptoms?

5

blood tests are not 100% accurate if your going to have a blood test test 12/16 weeks post exposure

6

unless u get visable sores i wouldnt worry about it as lots of things can cause itching fungal infections and skin problems etc cause the same things u are describing

7

i have one red spot but its probably folliculitis or just a spot maybe i dont need test but it makes paranoid

if you’re in the u.s the western blot is better then igG. I did it at 7 n half months and feel better. gonna do it at the end of this month for a peice of mind. it’ll be a year after exposure. it looks for the whole immune response. not everything is herpes related. I had some wierd things going on if u read my story. I’m just hoping I’m not in the category that doesn’t produce antibodies.. I guess even if that’s the case the western blot looks at other things not just igg
