I'd call and see if they found bv or a yeast infection too. those results should come back sooner than the herpes testing.
I am expecting to hear back from the DR next monday... gonna be a long weekend around here but at least my sister is coming to visit for a little bit!
that does further complicate it a lot emotionally :(
when will all your test results be back?
DR put me on cipro - I am on a lot of other meds that restrict which antibiotics I can go on. I am also on z-pak for sore throat that is poss strep.
It's complicated more so by the fact that he didn't tell me for almost 6 months that he was hsv+. I was of course very angry and we went through a lot at that point to decide if we would stay together or not... needless to say I'm angriest that he not only didn't tell me but did nothing to prevent me from getting it. had he not had an outbreak I don't know that he would have told me then. Luckily I had been tested for it along with a standard STI panel before we started dating so i know I was clearly negative before and know that anything else is probably a positive.
where he gets lesions is irrelevant actually. the virus sheds from the entire anogenital area periodically. condoms and suppressive therapy from the gitgo would've gotten your risk down to 2-3%/year.
the strange odor you mention very well might've been bv which increases your risk of contracting hsv2 :( what antibiotics did the provider put you on?
let us know how your test results are when you get them back.

he is only recently on suppressive therapy, we do not use condoms. His outbreak isn't covered by condoms at all. He had an outbreak about three weeks ago and I then asked him to go on suppressive therapy which he did. I was tested about 6 months ago and it was negative. She did swab for yeast and bacterial infections, but I've had both and this is nothing like that really. She did swab cervix for herpes but there were no sores on it at all. I did another blood test (at her suggestion) even though I think it's probably too soon to think it's going to come back positive.
everything down there is sore and swollen. sore keeps bleeding/pus but not ulcerated.
when you were seen , did they test you for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally too?
were you tested for herpes prior to this partner to know your status?
if the lesion was scabbed, it was probably too late for a lesion culture :( Did she by chance also swab your cervix to see if you were shedding from there too?
is your partner on daily suppressive therapy? do you use condoms?
