Is the herpes or something else
I have been having some vaginal issues for the past few months. It has a irritated feeling and is red. I've tried to read up on herpes and was tested negative for 2 positive for 1 on a igg blood test. My questions are if I have hav 1 gentialy will it be painful? I have no idea pain just irrational that comes and goes for the past two months. I've seen 2 doctors that have seen nothing to indicate hsv. I have these bumpy looking area on my clitorus that does not hurt and the bumps are not hard. The irritation is over the whole vaginal area. I have no other std I've been tested for everything you can think of, yeast, bv everything. I'm at a loss on what to do and go from here and the stress is driving me crazy!
I'm not sure what the test was I believe it was igg. I've looked online at my test from the doc and it says igg and it says negative.
But now it's postive and I'm having all this vaginal stuff and I've been to two doctors and don't know what to do! I was going to get out on valtrex so I don't give it to anyone if that's what I have. I just don't see what else my vaginal issues could be!
Did you explicitly test for IgG antibodies for HSV? It is not an automatic test, you must request it. Even then some doctors do IgM or PCR on blood. You probably have not been tested or tested properly before.
No your genital symptoms do not appear to be related to herpes.

You have had HSV1 since your youth most probably which means you are immune from a genital infection. Your genital issues are not related to herpes.

That's the thing I've been tested before and was always negative. I have two children. Could it have been a false negative? You don't think my symptoms are related to herpes?
Most likely, a primary infection of HSV1 in an adult female is not usually something readily missed.

Ok that's what I've read. Here is the story. A few months ago I noticed some irritation I've been looking downs there and noticed it slightly irritated. No pain when I urinate, there has been discharge I notice the irritation more after my cycle. I'm not sure what is normal bumps or not but when I touch anything I thinks looks funny there is no pain. I don't believe I've ever tested positive for hsv. But when I was tested in January it was positive for hsv 1. My bf thinks he has had a cold soar before but it was a long time ago. I've been to two doctors and they say they see nothing to indicate hsv but what if I'm going when the bumbs are not there. I've read some people have mild symptoms and never know they have It, Im so lost and confused and any advise would be helpful. I've been dealing with this irritation for months now. On and off. I don't know where to go and who to speak with sorting this out! I've tested for it all and am clear besides the hsv 1 my fb said he has no irritation or burning on him. Also lastly last month I had back pain and a soar throat durning the irritation.
Sorry this post is so long I'm just trying to figure this out. I did notice the my clitorus is a bit sensitive today more so than normal. I know I'm stressed and have anxiety over this but nothing makes sense to me. Thank you!
Hi in all likely hood your hsv1 is oral and your genital symptoms dont suggest herpes at all.

That's what I thought. If I had hsv 1 gentialy wouldn't any bumps I had from that be painful,then turn into open soars?
