I'm feeling really concerned about something. I got an HSV IgG test result of 0.85 and I've been noticing some redness in the genital area, along with itching and these weird tingling pains in my thighs. Does this mean I have herpes or could it be something else? What's confusing me more is that when I did a test last month, it came back negative. Can you tell me if these results might be accurate and suggest any treatment options?

Can you let me know if it's safe to have sex with my wife during pregnancy without using a condom? And is there a point when we should stop having sex to protect the baby? Any risks we should be aware of?

I'm really worried and a bit confused. Is there any chance of pregnancy from non-penetrative sex? We only rubbed, and he didn't have a full erection or ejaculate. But now she's experiencing some brown spotting after 19 days. Her periods are usually irregular, and she hasn't had them for the past two months. We did a pregnancy test, and it came out negative. Could you help us understand what's going on?

While the risk is extremely low, it's not impossible to get pregnant from non-penetrative sex, as pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm; however, given the circumstances you described, pregnancy is unlikely; the brown spotting 19 days after the incident could be related to various factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or other medical conditions; considering her irregular periods and missed periods for two month
