Herpes

[WorriedGirl106]

I don’t know what to do because i don’t know how to seek expert advise. I hope that you are able to help me. I was diagnosed with having herpes by a blood test and by a regular culture swab. Which according to planned parenthood it was positive for Herpes 2. About a few months later I visited my regular doctor and had a second blood test which was positive okay but my symptoms did not seem like what I have heard before to be herpes. So I waited for a so call outbreak which I thought I had one, I immediately visited the doc and ask for a PCR Culture Swab which turned out to be nagative for herpes. The doc thinks I cut myself shaving that it didn’t look like herpes and thought I did this to my self. I don’t know what else this could be ? I understand I might have herpes but what I am experiencing looks like something else. I visited another doctor and he just told me if your blood is positive it must be herpes but it is getting bigger than from the first time I had the so call break out, it looks like a strip and it also appears like a sever cut Diagonal near my anus. I don’t itch, I don’t have multiple bumps or anything please help

I'm sorry that this hasn't cleared up for you.

Have they done a culture on it to look for anything other than herpes? Have they biopsied it or anything?

Have you had the same symptoms since July? Has it cleared up and come back, or just been the same since then? If it's been the same, it's not herpes. A herpes outbreak wouldn't last months.

One thing I noticed on your previous posts that I didn't notice before was that you said you had hsv IgB testing done. Was IgB a typo, or do your lab results say IgB? There is no IgB herpes test - it should be IgG or IgM. What does yours say?
