Months of confusion about whether I have herpes from unprotected sex or not
Thank you for reading this and helping. Around eight months ago I had an unprotected sexual encounter (sex). After this I had extreme pain, burning in my legs and vagina, itchiness, followed by a bright red rash in my groin. This rash only lasted four days and I then got a second rash on my upper butt. The second rash was swabbed and came back negative for HSV. The doctor thought I had an extreme yeast infection. This rash and symptoms have been happening on and off for eight months. I have had two swabs and three blood test and ALL are negative. I even tried Valtrex which may have one worked 1/6 times i took it. This situation is driving me crazy and I am not sure what to do next. Any guidance would be very appriacted as this issue has caused me severe depression and fear.
So, it sounds like you were swabbed and tested for herpes and it is negative? So, does not sound to be herpes. Did the yeast infection clear with medication (otc or oral)?
