Question: I was recently diagnosed with HSV2 in early May. I had a 10 panel test done and was negative for all other STD including HIV. I had unprotected sex once in late March/first week of April. The HIV test used was the 4th generation. This is male/female PIV with the same person who says they were clean. Anyway, about 2 weeks before the test I had unprotected oral sex with him again. No ejaculation or anything. I had been seeing this guy for about two months. Things went south and that’s why I got tested in May. Anyway, for the past 2 weeks I have had a swollen lymph node in my neck that wouldn’t go away swabbed no strep and throat culture came back fine. I haven’t had any flu symptoms or cold symptoms. Nothing too out of the ordinary except a yeast infection.
So to sum everything up.
Had unprotected sex in late March/early April. Protected sex and unprotected oral about 2 weeks before a 4th generation HIV test. How accurate would a negative result be? This is female / male PIV
Individuals who have herpes or don’t do you take the prep or anything to prevent the increased risk due to outbreaks ?
Thanks
