is this herpes ?

[janey70]

hi i was told i had hepes nearly 2 years ago now and had several outbreaks since last one being last may each time my symptons are usually same but lesser sores with each outbreak . over last couple of days i have developed to little spots near the opening of my anus they are a bit itchy but apart from that im fine no symptoms atall and cant really tell about any discharge as on period but nothing abnormal there either could this be herpes again ? ive always had blisters on virgina before and around anus but not just anus they seem to be exactly same spot either side and never really itchy ? anyone any clues ?

So you've never had testing to know if it's hsv1 or hsv2? How about testing to confirm that indeed it is herpes that you have?

I'd avoid sex if your partner doesn't have genital herpes until these are healed just in case they are herpes.

You can expect to have ob's anywhere in the entire boxer short area - they won't always be in the same place. If you want confirmation that these are herpes, see your provider within 48 hours of their appearance for culture.

How were you diagnosed as having genital herpes?
