Could I have herpes?

[Jenny174]

Lately I've been having a strange itching down there and I don't know what it could be. It started up last week and after I applied cream for yeast it stopped, however it started up again. I just became sexually active in January and before I was I got tested for every STD including herpes 1 and 2 and everything came back negative. I was having these symptoms before  and my obgyn said it could be herpes which is why I got tested in the first place. At the time I had only had oral sex. Now however I'm worried because I am sexually active even though my boyfriend got tested before we had sex and everything was negative.i just feel so anxious and scared and want to be tested again. Can it be herpes? I only feel itching but I don't see any blisters.

While there is a chance of HSV1 from oral sex, if the yeast cream helped, chances are it’s that. The cream might not be enough. I would ask for something stronger. See about getting some diflucan. A few treatments might be needed. Do you have any odd discharge? Do you shave down below? If yes...refrain from shaving and just trim the area. I understand people like to shave but the skin is delicate, shaving is basically trauma to that sensitive skin. If hsv is a continued concern, test 12 weeks from your last exposure with an IgG test. And I am not the morality police but use condoms. You’ll be okay!
