Avatar m tn stated that she would do a culture test on urine that would take 2 days. She also advised me to go for STD test at the 14 day mark (post unprotected sex) I explained my concern over the itching on the thigh in conjunction with the burning urination. She advised that it was not a symptom of herpes. I have done alot of research online that has stated the direct opposite. What could the issue be? I am worried sick to the point where I can't even sleep.
Avatar m tn Thanks you Doctor for your prompt reply. I have another question in regards to syphillis. I have read that Doxycline 2 tablets a day for 2 weeks could also cure syphillis. Is it right? I will anyway follow your advise to test for syphillis and herpes. Is it common with 1single sore as i got to have herpes?
Avatar n tn I know that I am suppose to test again in 6 weeks. When I test again in 6 weeks, should I ask for a more specific test?
Avatar n tn That is why the blood test for antibody serology is not very useful. The most useful test for detection is a PCR test (urine or swab), even in absence of any symptoms.
Avatar m tn Well, you are posting on a herpes board, so are you concerned that you might have genital herpes or are you wondering about how to test for herpes? If you want to test for herpes, you want a type specific IgG antibody test for HSV 2 (you could also test for HSV 1, but if you've ever had a cold sore, no need, you will be positive). Urine tests normally only look for gonorrhea, chlamydia and urinary tract infections.
Avatar f tn I contacted my OBGYN and we are currently waiting for my cultures to come back. They did notify me yesterday that my HIV and Hep C test came back negative. I have been on websites and noticed that they say Herpes is painful, while Syphilis isn't. The only pain I experience is if urine gets down there, or when the doctor used the swabs to do the culture. Otherwise, while walking or sitting I don't feel any pain. My question is, is Syphilis painful when it is touched or irritated?
Avatar m tn Are there urine tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia? Or what are the options?
Avatar n tn i got a blood test from Quest Diagnostics, called a 1800 number and went in to a building had them draw blood and gave my urine, i came back negative for herpes 1, 2 and syphillis. i still have symptoms. They said their test are 99.9% accuarte. Is it possible that i could still have something? Maybe something like herpes but not herpes?
Avatar m tn I had unprotected oral sex 4 weeks ago. The next day I had a burning when I urinated and my throat stated to get sore. The burning got better after 3 or 4 days but I still have a slight burn after I urinate and my throat is still sore. I got tested 24 days afterwards for Chlamydia/GC [ urine test ] and blood test for Hep A,B,C, HIV, Herpes 1 & 2. All came back negative except Herpes 1 and they say I may have gotten that when I was a child.
Avatar m tn Test for gonorrhea, NGU and chlymida. If negative then keep working with your Dr.
Avatar f tn I am waiting for 90 days to get the blood test done for herpes for myself. I tested negative for gonorrhea, chymdia, NGU and syphilis.
Avatar n tn I was worried so I took an STD test today at the urology clinic I usually go to. The rapid blood test for HIV, Syphilis, and Herpes turned up negative. I took a urine test however, and the doctor said that there is some inflammation. He said that it is "most likely" a minor STD but his English was not good so he could have miscommunicated (I'm currently living in Korea). He mentioned this after looking at my previous tests which did not show any inflammation whatsoever.
13358727 tn?1432326927 5 Weeks ago I received unprotected oral and then had protected vaginal penetration with a csw. What are the possible STDs which I should test for apart from HIV? Any symptoms to look out for?
Avatar m tn t check for was herpes because of no lesions. I did get a negative blood test for herpes 1 and 2 but know that mean nothing right now. They did not swab my urethra either I am still having symptoms today, but just the dysuria which is very minor and even more minor than when it first began. Still have no discharge of any sort that I can see. Can you have dysuria with herpes and no lesions externally?
Avatar m tn Three and a half months ago I had a first encounter with a girl I was dating who told me she had HSV1 & HSV2. She said her herpes infection was asymptotic and her infections were only discovered upon a test. I also did not see anything to suggest she was having an outbreak during the time of our encounter (but she mentioned she didnt take any antivials either and I know shedding is a thing). I decided to move forward but wear protection.
Avatar m tn Also there was lot of redness on the tip of the penis and the doctor was surprised about it and he immediately said it was Herpes. But I requested for urine examination as well. Those were all negative. What bothers me that High 44 number on my IgG for HSV-1.
Avatar m tn we never recommend the igm test for herpes testing. It's a flawed test and not worth your time or money. The encounter you had was very low risk. I assume your provider properly tested your urine that bacteria and blood was seen in it so no reason to doubt that it was an uti. I wouldn't even bother retesting for herpes unless you get an obvious lesion in the genital area to get cultured.
Avatar n tn this was november of 08..then I started to have burning in my penis... so I went and got test for herpes in jan of 09...my test came back negative..1.9 or something cnt remeber the exact number...but before I got my resluts back..I was taking some meds that begin with an a.. The meds didn't wrk for the feelings on the inside...so arond march...I noticed I had a sore...I'm thinking I tested negative so this is not herpes...so I didn't kno wht to do...
Avatar f tn I also complicated the situation by allowing my self to become super dehydrated concentrating my urine even more and wearing the same spandex shorts for several sweaty hours (40+ per week) allowing fungus and god knows what to attack my penis. However I have been test for every STD under the sun except Herpes IGG all have been negative but the IGM test. Wish me luck. .
Avatar f tn Does the genital herpes virus live and spread in urine? I've read it does and does not. What one is correct ?
Avatar f tn My recent test were clean I.e igg combo @clia for herpes (after 4.5 months of exposure) and urine, stool test and CBC count was all normal. Few months back I was low on vitamin d and b12..for which I took medications and injections. Though fair to say that it all started after an event of high risk protected sex which left me in guilt and anxiety. My provider has written a mantaux test which is for TB I think. I have had lungs TB 6 years back which got away after treatment.
Avatar m tn To oral sex, I am just the receiver, so what kind of STD is of concern? Also, which one needs urine sample? which one needs blood sample?
