I had condom protected vaginal sex with a CSW  almost 7 weeks ago.  I just tested and all STDs were negative except the HSV IgM 1&2 came back positive at 1.20, but the HSV IgG 1&2 came back negative under .90.  My primary care physician said I'm positive for HSV and wrote me a script for Valtrex.  I'm confused as to the results.  I have had some pimples on my pelvic area near the top and one near my thigh.  Some of these came on after I shaved down to skin looking for imperfections.  The spots that I have are all separate pimple looking and when I pop them they release similar to a pimple.  I have had some itching post shaving...I've never had a fever (checked daily) and do not feel ill in the least bit other than being ridden with anxiety...Another possible symptom (maybe) my soles on my feet hurt for a week or so directly after the event and I had muscle pain on one but cheek for that week (kinda weird but worth mentioning).  I also had an itchy back post workouts and hot showers that last for a few hours post hot shower.  I had really not happened before.  This mostly came on after I used the back brush to aggressively clean my back.  What are the odds of having a false positive on the IgM at 6 weeks, should I start the valtrex, what else would you recommend?

  

Am I positive for HsV please help!

I'm hopeful from your response but still concerned as both of my IGG tests 1&2 were negative.  I was thinking if I was IgG positive for HSV1 then it would be easier to understand that there would be a cross pick-up and then the positive hsv 2 would likely be negative as a recent infection.  

My apologies but this will ruin my marriage if I'm positive and I'm so overwhelmed with guilt and anxiety.  

Can you please keep my thread open I will pay another fee I just find the conversation helps give hope.

My real question is that I did have some pimples as previously stated at 7 days and they did pop with a pimple filled center.  Are most Herpes marks similar to blisters?.  Additionally, since this IgM test came back positive for both at 6 weeks and negative for IgG if there was a false positive what are the variables driving that.  I have had Chicken Pox and Mono in my past do these affect the IgM?  Another question is the Igm at 1.20 when 1.10 as the marker a variable?  I read that the IgM is more accurate between 10 days and 4 weeks, does that mean the 6 weeks positive is less accurate. I will likely test next week at 8 weeks and then again at 10 weeks if these are negative does the percentage change?  

I've read that anywhere from 70% to 95% will test positive on the IgG by six weeks are those numbers correct?

Please help with clarity!!!!

Thank you for your help to this point but I've come to the realization that I have likely contract HSV.   After doing much research and knowing my body I've realized I've had several symptoms.  First things first, the positive IgM which leads me to believe I have contracted one of the HSVs in that the only other logical positive response would be a false positive to chicken pox or epstine bar.  Then looking back to a few days post event I had very sore soles of my feet and unexplained pain on the sides of my butt which gaglian nerve ties into.  Next I had a very bad itching back that I could not explain and lastly sores or pimples on my pelvic area along with some itching.  All of this seems like to much of a coincidence wouldn't you agree?  I'm in fear that my outcome is that I'm positive  and in that thought I need to prepare on how my life will change I.e.  how do I tell my wife, do I leave so she can have a normal life without worry of contacting this virus.  Ive  been reading horror stories on what this virus does to some women and couldn't live with myself if she got it.  Next what advice would you give to best position my future, are there foods that help, vitamins that help, are there specialists I should reach out too?  I know I have not tested positive but I really think it will be the case so please give me a road map to the best path in the future.  I can't believe one drunk night and one mistake changed my perfect life ...3 young boys, a great wife, a great job, in a great house and my view each morning will likely change in the near future!
