Q: Genital Herpes In Pubic Area
asked by: TravelDude on October 28th, 2007

Hello All,

(2 years ago I had a troublesome situation then and freaked out for 4 months until the Herpes Select IGG Immunoblot came back negative for HSV2 and positive to HSV1. (And at 6 months same thing too.) A year ago my newer Ex had me take one and she did too. Same result.)

Well, I had *protected* sex with an another Ex yesterday morning (Saturday). Last night (Saturday) I had a lot of itching in my public area. Today (Sunday) I have red marks all over my pubic area. I mean like 8 red marks that itch. Pencil eraser size. Mid to upper pubic hair area. No blisters (yet).

Now, obviously I am freaking out.

Does it usually show up this fast????

I guess I am going to ask her to please take the Herpes Select 1&2 IGG Immunoblot test to she if she has HSV2.

I know I need to wait for my testing. How long should I wait?

Should I take the IgM to see if I have a new infection? How long to wait?

I am going to try and get into a doctor tomorrow and do a culture. But, I am sure that will be about impossible.

Help!

PS: My best friend just told me he had Herpes. At least I have someone to freak out about this in person and on the phone....

I doubt you would have it the next day. You could take the test right now but even if you have it,it could be dormant in your body and show up negative. I would wait about 6 months.
