What Is Meant By HSV2 14 Weeks Negative?

i think i rubbed my penis raw on one side from my girlfriends underwear. My penis is kind of pink, and blotchy... now just a few spots are dried up skin on my left side only. I have no pain, or symptoms or tingling. just weird to look at. I have been tested for HSV2 14 weeks negative. What does this mean?

Hi,

Dermatologic conditions are hard to discuss without seeing them. Then the herpes test can be done many different ways. in the US 15% of penile herpes is herpes type ONE not 2. And the older tests would probably show some herpes anyway and wasn't that good at distinguishing type. So, it could easily still be herpes. In Japan about half of genital herpes is type 1 not type 2. Or it could be something else. As mentioned it is difficult to say. without an exam, I can only give general information.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
