A member asked:
Herpes 1 & 2 tests (igg & igm) at 18, 24 & 32 days post exposure, all negative, keep testing? brief penis to penis rubbing, partner status unknown.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I don't know if additional blood work testing is going to be beneficial at this point. Any sores/discharge should be cultured. Additionally, intimate contact should be avoided if such sores and/or discharge is present.

What are the testing options for Herpes 2? I've read about IgG and IgM, with questions around the reliability of IgM antibody testing. How soon can tests be performed? I'm at 32 days post potential exposure, no outbreaks, but wondering if exposed?
I had possible Herpes 2 exposure, no lesions & took IgM and IgG blood tests 2 weeks after the incident. Both were negative. Did I test too early? It is now 32 days post exposure, still no lesions. Do I need to retest?
