hello drs this a follow up on #3990 i
have followe Dr Hooks advice and stayed off the internet (with the exeption of
this forum)his coments helped me rule out the gono/chlamedia scenerio. I also i
know that you have better expertice in this than my family doctor would. A few
things i didnt mention on my last question is that a day after the cef
injection i felt shooting like vain disconfort in my inner thights (this was a
week after encounter) this has continued till this day tho not as intense and
it dosent hapen daily or for very long (minutes) also have had a ponching like
feeling pn the skin of my scrotum since a few days after the enconter ( not
every day not constant) off and on durind the day. Also i want to describe the
pimple i mentioned causs its still there 2 weks after it showed up as a small
bump less than 1/16” that in 4 days growed to a 1/8” pimple like but the white
part was on the side not the middle. Like an idiot i popped it and know it
looks like a crater and it has scince it does appear to be healing and it does
not or ever looked or felt like the cold sores i get on my lips. My test
resulst at 5 weeks read hvs-1@19.00 and 2
@1.00 “confirmed by second test on sample” range >0.91 neg 0.91-1.09
equivocal <1.09 possitive. Re- test if clinically appropriate both
hvs-2&1 said HIGH in red letters
1. Just to claryfy im reading it right my
result for hsv-2 is equivocal at 1.00? So right at the 1/2 poin between
negative and positive.
2. Would you say that based on my results
at 5 weeks it would be clinically appropriate to re test?
3. Do you have any data a 3 months from
testing that could compare to my results?
4. Could my hvs-1 status be making me not
feel any symptomps of hvs-2 or could it be causing the mild symptoms im
feeling?
5. I have had hsv-1 since kid and so has
my brother. My dad had cold sores but not my mom. My guess is i got it from my
parent. It was always enberrasing and it defitinetly affected my selfsteam as a
kid. How do i take precaution from passing to my kids? The only way i can think
i got it is from using the same cups or silverware from my dad. Any imput on
how Hvs-1 is trasfferd?
6. I never realized growing up that hvs-1
was an std. should i have been disclosing my status back when i was dating?
