Is Pain Experienced Immediately After Sexual Intercourse A Sign Of Herpes?
Question: Does this look like Herpes 2? I tested positive IM 1.5 I know I have Herp 1. I tested IG negative herpes 2 2 weeks . the pain started right after vaginal sex.
Brief Answer:
The results are negative for Herpes simplex 2, follow the advice below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Positive Ig M is probably related to Herpes simplex virus 1 which is a very common virus.
When IgG is negative chances are that you don't have herpes simplex 2.
If you need further confirmation you can have a repeat test IgG only,3-4 months after the intercourse.
The pain that you have is probably related to minor trauma in the area.
If you do have other symptoms you should see your doctor for a physical examination.
Hope this answers your question.
Please let me know if you need further clarification.
Kind regards,
