HSV 2 Positive none isolated test result
I am the sad recipient of a positive Herpes Simplex Virus Typing culture test. Just received the results yesterday.
My partner and I were tested in November 2010 for all STDs (blood tests) and we both did not have any STDs according to the results.
Then in January (latter part of the month) we did anal sex (my first time) and he went from anal back to vaginal (found out that was a big no no) and used tons of lube and baby oil. I got symptoms of itchy anus and vagina, burning, discharge (white and clear), painful urination, a sore (which hurt) on my vaginal wall etc. Used Peroxide, hydrocortisone cream, and A&D ointment, but the syptoms were just getting worse. He said it is a fungus/bacteria (he's a Veterinarian) and that I needed an antibiotic. I had four 400MG amoxicillin pills, so I took those, and the pain from the sore (which had been getting increasingly more painful) almost immediately abated, so did a lot of the other symptoms---but not entirely. I had a lot of relief and figured I could now wait for my already scheduled upcoming OBGYN visit.
The symptoms however seemed to get increasingly bad again, but not to the extent as they were before. I went for my annual OBGYN visit and told them about the symptoms and was treated for BV (given Metragel for 5 days). I did not ask for my sore to be tested since the doctor noted that I had relief from symptoms with the antibiotics. However the Metragel didn't work and my symptoms continued to escalate. I tried the Metragel for 2 more days but started to get a clumpy cottage cheese discharge in addition to my heavy clear white discharge. A month had passed without improvement so I went back to my OBGYN again and by this time my discharge was yellow and I was still passing cottage cheese like cIumps that was often in my urine. The doctor swabbed my sore for a culture (said there were now one on each side of my vaginal wall and that it could be herpetic in nature) and gave me another Rx for 5 days of Metragel and 1 dose of 150MG fluconazole.
I waited 9 days and was given the results of a Herpes Simplex Virus Typing test. Test said:
HSV Type 1 Flags: none Results: Negative Ref-Range: Negative
HSV Type 2 Flags: Above High Normal Results: Positive Ref-Range: Negative
Herpes Simplex Virus Culture Flags: Progressive Results: Above high normal Ref-Range: Positive None Isolated
Wet mount positive for clue cells, shows increased WBC and alkaline pH.
The None Isolated is written twice and has me very confused as well as the diagnosis in general.
Doctor was not available today but nurse said he is going to prescribe Valtrex.
I continue to have an itchy anus, vagina, the sore(s) and pass cottage cheese clumps. Been with this same person and never had an issue until he went from anal to vaginal sex.
I have been having the same symptoms and the same sore (although I apparently got another one on the other side of my vaginal wall) for 8 weeks now. There has not been any scabbing and I do not have clustered bumps and they were never liquid filled.
Could this diagnosis be false positive? I thought (and please help me if I am wrong) that you had to have an isolated result to be positive. There are no number values given. Just what I wrote.
Please help.

Hmmm, okay just so we're clear, did you mean to type culture instead of blood test?
What I typed were all of the results on the page for my Herpes virus culture typing test.

your blood test is + for hsv2.
the website you mentioned is a very poor one and I would never follow anything that is on there! using bleach on your sensitive genital skin is going to give you a chemical burn. same with peroxide can do the same thing. even vinegar shouldn't be used without being diluted first. it's good as a compress or in bathwater but not full strength on the skin!

Grace,
You won't believe this, but a lot of people are using clorox bleach as a "treatment". I read it here http://www.natural-cures-for.com/remedies/genital-herpes. I didn't realize that peroxide was as crazy though lol. Apple cider vinegar I thought was good lol, I went out and bought a quart of it, oh well.
What prompted me posting on here in the first place (it's in my caption), was that I was wondering how I could have a positive result that says none isolated? which it says twice although I only typed it once in my first post.
This is what is written on the test:
HSV Type 1
Flags: none
Results: Negative
Ref-Range: Negative
HSV Type 2
Flags: Above High Normal
Results: Positive
Ref-Range: Negative
Herpes Simplex Virus Culture
Flags: Progressive
Results: Above high normal
Ref-Range: Positive- None Isolated
None Isolated
So from your professional experience, am I definitely positive?
I just kept reading that positive was isolated, and mine said none isolated, but if I can be positive and it not be isolated, then I can, and then I have it and that's that. Have you seen that before? It was the nurse who told me it was definitely positive, and I had not spoken to my OBGYN doctor, and then the Infectious disease docs didn't seem to think it was herpes because of the none isolated part.
I have an appointment with the Center for infectious disease doctor on Monday although I'll get his test results tomorrow (only received the negative IgG result from him so far). That will be his fungal and herpes culture.
I'll have him check the vagina/anus areas. They do feel much better than before, but still itch. The swelling has gone down a lot already.

no mc wouldn't interfere with your hsv2 culture.
in your very first post, the way you posted your test results it appears that you posted that you are positive hence why I said it would be a recurrence for you. I apologize if I misunderstood that but that's what they look like to me.
NO PEROXIDE!!! It's non-chlorine bleach. would you pour clorox on your genital area? I should hope not! same with vinegar is also an acid. no wonder things are irritated and swollen!
see your provider again tomorrow if things aren't back to closer to normal in your genital/anal area.

Meant to type --could MC cause the discrepancy in my HSV 2 culture? Woult that explain the Positive none-isolated, none isolated?
I've used hydrogen peroxide, apple cider vinegar, and A & D ointment and am unsure if the ridiculous amount of dryness and cracked appearance are due to the constant discharge (which has significantly reduced but still is not gone) and my topicals or if it is the Herpes scabbing that I've read about. Does that sound like herpectic scabbing?

Now my anus area is swollen like 3 times normal size. I am not sure if I did that to myself because it was itching a lot still and I kept rubbing it hard with a tissue. Then I took a sea salt bath.
When I woke up this morning, anus is very inflamed. Only mildly hurts (I think that is my fault for rubbing the itch so hard), but even now, it does still itch. I think that I've been getting discharge there too. Is this from Herpes?
I think that I have molloscum contagiosum too. A while ago I had those red looking MC bumps (2 or 3 of them) on my stomach. I have since gotten tons of flesh colored skin tags. They sometimes itch. They are not bothersome and not really noticeable to others (since they are flesh colored) but I have A LOT of them.
Could MC possibly be cause a discrepancy in my HSV 2 culture? Would that explain the Positive none isolated?
