Yes everything was tested and everything came out negative. My doctor has no idea what it is.
since herpes cultures have a high false negative rate, best to seek out herpes igg blood testing 3 months post encounter to err on the side of caution.
did you cover your other std testing bases too since it was unprotected sex?
Sorry misread your post. It wasn't protected. Also the herpes test was a culture, not a blood test.
Thank you for replying. My last sexual encounter was August 30th. He is the only person I have been with but I have found out recently he was with a few girls over the summer. Since I posted this I have seen my doctor, she did not think it looked like herpes at all. The herpes test came back negative and a bacterial culture also came back normal. My doctor put me on antibiotics before the culture came back and it has seen to help significantly. By wednesday night all the white ulcers are gone and the one on my labia is in the process of healing. This one was the only one that was painful and I am having trouble healing it due to its positioning, it is constantly getting rubbed and irritated by pants.
I am still nervous that it was a false negative. Would a herpes infection heal this quickly? Within 4 days all the white ones were gone and now a week later all I have is the one that started out as a lump under my skin that I squeezed and played with.
going to be seen is the best thing to do. they can do an exam and also test you for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally. if they see anything that looks like herpes, they can do a lesion culture and typing on symptoms.
was your last sex protected? is it a regular partner?
