I am a 30 year old female who appreciates your forum.I have relied heavily on your answers for education over the past month or so. I had unprotected sex with a man who later told me he has had HSV2 for 8 yrs. He reassured me that he "knows his body" and that he hasn't had an ob in 2 yrs. He was in a relationship for 7 yrs and his ex girlfriend is negative HSV. He does not take anti virals. His herpes ob's happen in the pubic hair region above his penis.
My exposure was over the course of 3 days from Aug 20-23.
23rd- fever at night and night sweats (important to note I also arrived home from a vacation where I was drinking and had lack of sleep for 3 days) the fever was gone and no more sweats after 1 night.
25th- diaherrea - googled side effects of herpes
27th- crawling feeling across my genital area started and lasted for 7 days
28th- small pimple where my pubic hair is- was not red or raised and at this point i was obsessively checking. Pimple was single and had white head no bigger than a pen tip i took my nail over it the white head popped off and it never came back , hurt or scabbed over.
29th - doc diagnosed me with a yeast infection
Tingle and anxiety worsened.
Sept.5th intense burning sensation on pubic mound started and lasted 2 days skin was red
No lesions appeared or visible signs at all
Sept 7th did a full STD test all negative including my ElISA results at HSV1 - .11 HSV2- .57
she RX me 10 days of valtrex.Took that for 8 days.
Sept 21 got my 4 wk results - negative again
I get dull aches and throbbing on the left side of my genital area it comes and goes
1.) Is it possible to feel real burning pain from genital anxiety? wouldnt these have resulted in lesions?
2.) What is the effect of sunburn on shedding?
3.) Does a person who has had herpes longer shed less?
4.) Does my .57 on HSV2 concern you? Is this a high negative?
5.) What effect did the valtrex have on my 4 week test? Is that 4 wk negative null and void because of the drugs?
6.) Do my symptoms sound herpectic?
