Is this a false reading due to me already having an uti?

[YellowJacket85]

I'm 30 years old & I've just started a new relationship. We started off using condoms & several weeks later, we both decided that we we're ready to go unprotected since we both tested negative for HIV.To my surprise after 3 days of going "raw" during sex, I had this horrible pain that shot up to my vagina. I ran to the bathroom & when I began to pee, it burned. Now, what I failed to mention was that he was uncircumcised so my risk for UTI had gone up. So, the next day the burning sensation proceeded. I began researching home remedies for uti/bladder infection & the burning stopped with cranberry juice & water. He insisted I go get checked just to make sure everything was fine. And I did. I went to the local Quest Diagnostics & did a blood/urine sample & all readings came back negative except 1. In red letters the test showed positive for herpes 1. My mouth dropped because  I have NEVER had any outbreaks or sores anywhere on or aroumd my mouth or vaginal area.I plan to follow up with my doctor on Monday,but is this an accurate reading from me just knowing I had a uti?

The most important thing to note is that you have not been infected recently with HSV1. As noted, you have probably had this virus since your youth and it will be oral. This is nothing to be concerned about.

A UTI will be a typical explanation for this. Forget the cranberry juice, questionable whether this helps or the sugars make things worse. Get the specialised packs of crnberry powder for urinary tract treatment or better still a prescription from your doctor for the appropriate medication.

You have to be more specific wbout the Herpes result. Was the test IGG antibodies, and what was the count?

If you have a high antibody count, it points to you having had this for a while, before this new relationship.
