i was the receiver... yes, i have... doctor ask me only to get medicine if there are outbreaks. but i just want to ask, is there any meds i can take during these period? As i had acknowledged, i will shed virus even if i didnt have an outbreak.

Bro, which clinic did u go? , be patient bro..may god help u, i feel sorry to hear u hv both, take more vitamin to increase your body immune system, try to look for mulberry juice.

i went for medijaya in damansara uptown, and my blood is sent to pathlab to be examined.. come out that my hiv 1 and 2 ab by elisa is negative. so, i want to ask, how accurate is this? im getting all paranoid again.

HIV or HSV ? It's almost impossible for you to have HIV !

i had a full screen for std, and hsv is positive. for both types. but i never had an outbreak. as for hiv, the result is negative. my blood was sent to pathlab to be examined, so im not sure whether the result is conclusive anot as my doc said, the test is much more conclusive on 6th week..

edited : i just called pathlab, and asked.. they said they conduct the elisa 3rd gen. may i know. is this accurate? for 1 month exposure?

Aiks, HSV positive. Sorry to hear that, but worry not. It is not life threatening sickness. Just remember to see doctor as soon as you feel uneasy at your infected area. As for HIV, since it's negative then don't worry much bout it anymore. Relax and enjoy. If you still couldn't let it go, go have a screen again by 90 days. Result is conclusive by then.

HSV and HIV has windows period...ya check aftr 3 months, don't worry if u don't hv frequent fever,,,

well.. i went for some famous hiv forums, get advice, teleconference with some hiv expert.. and from what i had narrated to them, no risk is what i heard.. so, i might get another blood test in 90 days, but im still hoping for a false positive for hsv.
oh ya, i want to ask, should i take acyclovir or valtrex daily? or take it during outbreak only?

no outbreak...no need to take lor..ur antibody still strong...

As I remember, most of the world population in the world had HSV-1.HSV-1 is very easy to trasmitted.Most of the people will get it in kindergarden/ taska because of cup sharing.HSV-1 easily be transmitted by saliva.Kissing parent to child, child to child at taska, child to parent and so on.......
Means dont blow/ lick too much.Stick to your healthy partner.

My uncle died of HIV.
Luckily, it was not transmitted to his then partner.
Take care everyone

what your igG number for positive?maybe upper 3.5 above can consider hsv virus,below that maybe not hsv..so hard to find either you have a virus or not..maybe western blood test can be use for test the virus...i don't know where the lab can test it.....igg mostly accurate for 12-16 weeks after exposure

my igg level? i can't recall it, but for my hsv 2, its slightly above positive.. not as much as my hsv 1... which accounted about 3k+,
well, im retaking another test soon, cause my sem had started..

thanks TS...this is very informative

had unprotected sex with a buddy, my urethra itches, and the tip of my penis is flaky ,what std do i have?

If there is whitish-yellowish discharge coming out, then should be gonorrhea, if there is a rounded-shaped ulcer on the penis, then should be syphilis. Otherwise, could be yeast infection such as chlamydia. Can google more for STDs.

Guys, anyone know where I can find one of those genital specialist around KL/Selangor? I appreciate the help. Thanks.

windows period for HIV can last for 10 years...

If u are a man, can go to skin specilist, if u are a girl, can go to o&g
