Avatar f tn A PCR test becomes positive sooner than the antibody test but is not usually the first test given as it is more expensive. So if you know you have been exposed to a high level of risk then ask for a PCR test.
Avatar m tn I know that this make for a virtually nil risk, but I had a couple of complicating factors. One, is that the condom kept riding up and I kept having to push it back down. As a result, I am not sure if I was exposed to his semen when he ejaculated (from the bottom of the condom). Two, I tend to chew my tongue, this does not result in broken skin, but does create irritation of the taste buds. I am not sure if this would increase my risk if the condom had leaked.
Avatar f tn I've had HSV 2 for over 10 years now and rarely have outbreaks. I recently had an outbreak and took Lysine to help and it feels like it is cleared up (it's been 9 days). Today I looked at the outbreak region with a handheld mirror and although the region no longer hurts, I can see what looks like a healing scar where the outbreak was. Should I wait until the area looks completely back to normal before having sex again? Can the outbreak be completely over if a scar still exists?
Avatar f tn Woke up feeling really sick sore throat and my ears are hurting and i can hardly breathe through my nose.
Avatar f tn odds are it isn't contagious but no way to know at this point since you don't know what is going on. protected sex is always in your best interest in a new relationship . has your new partner had testing done so you know you won't be adding to your problems with something new?
Avatar f tn It hurts to try and talk and my throat feels really swollen. It also feels like my neck is bruised on the left side. It is really sensitive to touch. I finally went to the doctor and they thought for sure that it was thyroiditis so ran all the tests for that. My thyroid function test came back normal along with my white blood count test and mono and strep.
Avatar n tn s viral load that they have at the time, if they are on meds and their viral load is undetechable, it is harder to pass the virus on, if someone is newly infected and has a high viral load they are very contagious.
Avatar m tn Except cold and cough I did not experience any other major symptoms. I also had almost 1 month laryngitis. I tested after 30 days and 44 days post exposure by EIA 3rd generation antibody test and results came negative. I am now at 96 days post exposure and after 4 days I am going for another EIA antibody test. From yesterday I am suffering from tingling sensation (mostly pinning). almost through out body. The sensations are quite mild. Can somebody please tell me is it HIV symptoms?
Avatar n tn being already with HSV-1 gives a significant protection from accuairing it in another site but it could be possibile to get it genitally too read more at herpes.com..
Avatar f tn And nothing else really came up until about a year ago - I started having what looked like heat rash in the crease of my butt - not near the anus. It is usually a little painful and clears up on its own within 5 days. Is that a herpes outbreak? I recently got tested and asked for an 'across the board' test, b/c I am slightly unsure that the original test was accurate. Is it possible to get a false positive from a culture test?
Avatar f tn I was not too comfortable for i didnt know much about it and yes i was wondering if having sex with him is contagious..He had told me that he doesnt get the rash below on his private parts but only on his back ..not much but still a few ..I am a little concerned about the sex part with him..I havent had sex yet with him due to that..I am very uncomfortable and yes afraid to get herpes..Can you pls help me out and tell me if its contagious..and also oral sex can i get it..
Avatar f tn This sounds like Impetigo and your boy will need anti biotics , it is contagious and can spread so try to keep him from touching it .Take him to the doctor as soon as you can for treatment ..
Avatar f tn Is it possible to have another outbreak again? Is it still contagious? Is it possible to transmit it unto his genital area during sex and oral sex after the outbreak? Is there any medication to prevent another outbreak?
Avatar f tn It's definitely less contagious than it would be if it was in the beginning stages, but it is still likely contagious, but the viral load is less. Herpetic whitlow isn't easily transmitted to others for the most part due to the thick skin on the majority of the body with the exception of the mouth and genitals.
Avatar m tn i forgot to ask the ways of transmission .
Avatar n tn what are the chances I have it if we were symptomless until a few days ago (since then we've not had sex)? I have no symptoms myself but I'm paranoid now that every little blocked pore might be HPV. I feel really uneasy knowing I could have HPV without being aware of it. I'm planning on seeing the doctor but I don't seem to have any symptoms, so they won't know for sure, will they?
Avatar f tn thanks your right..I don't know what it is yet..I just don't want it to take over my life..you can barley see my breakout today..but I will use the shampoo and thanks..I will also amp up raw garlic..I'm planning on asking my doctor fo doxycycline..I want to make this disapear before it becomes a part of my life..as we all wish for ..
