Before last summer, I had not had sex for a couple years. STD tests were all negative. Since, I have had sex with three individuals, one of whom, is my boyfriend. I have had unprotected sex multiple times with this boy, and twice, with the boy I was with before him.
I was std tested after the first of the three boys, and everything came up negative (though ive heard herpes anibodies dont always show up early on). i just recently, was tested again, and the results are not yet in.
The trouble is, that I have had recurrent yeast infections this summer, and consistently painful sex (almost always) with this partner. we have been together for 6 months. i have lubrication trouble, and often feel sore after having sex with him. On and off, I had to avoid sex with him because of the yeast infections. A week and a half ago, I was treated for a yeast infection. I felt that the symptoms were gone, but the doctor said she could still see that I had it, and gave me a prescription. Five days passed, and I had no symptoms. I thought it would alright to have sex. My boyfriend and I had sex, and things felt fine. Ten minutes passed afterwards, that I felt alright. Suddenly, I felt very intense stinging, like nothing I had felt before. I assumed I had had sex before the yeast infection was actually gone. I continued to have pain, and went back to the doctor after a few days. Now, she said she saw ulcerations, that were most likely herpes. The took a culture, and bloodwork was ordered. She prescribed Valtrex, which I have been taking twice daily for 4 days.
Now, of course, I had to check it out. I used a mirror to inspect myself, and could see two, small, pale blister-like things, right inside my vagina. They looked similar to one another, and were directly opposite one-another, at 4- and 8- oclock (closer to backside). I was unable to see anything else. After 1.5 days of taking Valtrex, the ulcers burst open, and liquid puss did come out. This frightened me a lot. Today (about 4 days in), I feel little discomfort.
What is the likelyhood that this is herpes? How will I know that the test results are accurate? This doctor seems to brush me off, and even told me that if I saw improvements while on Valtrex, we would assume I had herrpes even if the tests are negative. This doesnt sound right to me. Because of the placement of the ulcers, I feel some hope---but I dont want to be too hopeful. I don't know what questions to ask my doctor, and I am very anxious.
