So i got tested negative for hsv-2 igg blood test after 7 weeks of possible exposure. how reliable are these results? i tend to get red bumps every time i shave. i keep thinking it is herpes.
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Should have: Demonstrated an immune response after seven weeks, if negative, then doubt hsv-2 infection.

Check again: May recheck at 3 months after exposure. Red bumps- not hsv-irritation likely.
