-40 weeks later i got tested for herpes.

-The test i took was an IGG blood test for HSV 1 + 2

-both results came back negative.

My results came back just 24 HOURS after my blood test was done. I thought these type of test results took multiple days to be considered accurate.

Can my results be accurate for a negative result after just 24 hours after being sent in? Should i be retested? 

THANKS

Can you tell me more about the rash?

The IgG test misses about 30% of HSV 1 infections and about 8% of HSV 2 infections,compared to the gold standard western blot

Yes, the results can come back as quickly as 24 hours and will be as accurate as the test gets.

That sounds very much like a fungal infection to me, the most common cause of the balanitis. This does not sound like herpes. Men who still have a foreskin are more vulnerable to acquiring a fungal infection beneath the foreskin has that area is warm and moist and dark and an  ideal location for growing this organism
