How long till an outbreak?
Beginning of November I had unprotected sex with my BF. turns out he had been cheating and had HSV2. He told me 2 weeks after of his status. And that HE wasn't worried as he was taking suppressive meds.
The day before thanksgiving I went to urgent care and had swab testing done no noticeable sores were found. I continue to have burning, tingling, itching in my vagina area and shooting pain in my legs. I was put on famciclovir but then told to discontinue when swab was negative.
I am a Month out with no sores. Would I have gotten and OB by now? I continue to have "prodome" symptoms. I was told a blood test would need to be done 3 months after for antibodies. The stress of wondering if every twinge is an OB is consuming me. Can the test be done earlier?

Oh and yes they tested for bacterial infections, yeast, and a UTI/bladder infection.
given the possible cold sore--could he have given me HSV 2 orally? According the to results he showed me he does not have HSV 1.
Sorry for all the questions. You truly are a wonderful help!

I go tomorrow for my IgG specific test. They will do one now then again inFebruary at the 3 month mark. I've started develping tingling and burning around my mouth too-and the nurse today said it looked like I may be starting a cold sore. Fantastic--as I have never had one before.
Anyhow-the nurse also told me that the IgG specific test results wouldn't matter because both HSV types are the same no matter what. So no matter what one came back positive I was to act like I had herpes and tell all future partners. I pointed out it did matter because one was much harder to control and caused painful lesions on some very sensative parts of your anotomy.
Is she correct? Is there no difference once I test positive for one?
I haven't heard of any of my friends with cold sores taking suppresive therapy but the ones with HSV 2 certainly do.

call the clinic and see if they tested you for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally or not. if they didn't, go and be seen somewhere and get it done.
While I am seriously hoping the HSV test is neg. Do you have any idea what would be causing the burning, itching and tingling? For whatever reason it is worse at night, and today has been bad for it.
This doesn't look like a yeast infection to me--I know I am being paranoid but I've just never felt anything like this before (and its been 3 weeks of this). Ugg. Why are people so careless with other's health?!
As a side note: the idiot asked if I would give back the ring. Got to love it.

no, antivirals won't harm you if you don't have herpes.
I'd get the herpes testing done in february for peace of mind.
