HSV1 - genital Female question
I was diagnosed with a positive culture for hsv1 for a sore that was on the pubic hair area of my genitals back at end of May. I think that was the initial outbreak because I never felt so horrible and had BV too. My lymph glands were swollen too but my blood tests came back negative. The NP said it was probably because antibodies were not in my system yet. I've been managing it without prescription drugs. I have been taking some herbals & changing my diet and managing stress. I've not had another outbreak since the initial (May 14) but I've had some discomfort like a yeast infection that lasts a couple of days and goes away. I've also had two sharp pains internally (vagina only at night). I've seen no external signs of an outbreak. Is this normal for hsv 1 genital? I was hoping that my body (and dietary changes) was suppressing the virus on its own. I don't see anything external on the labia, vulva or anything. Should I get tested again? Could it have been an incorrect test result for the culture?
