Dear doc I just got diagnosed with hsv2 about 3 weeks ago. I was positive with a culture and a blood test. I had safe sex on New Years Eve, every thing was fine. On Feb 5th I shaved and got all over big red bumps that hurt. I went to a doc she said I may have herpes. She swabbed me and gave me antivirals and antibiotics. The rash went away in 5-7 days, and the swab was negative. (Could that have been a false negative?) I was fine. Then I got really sick with strep and spent 4 days getting antibiotics from an IV. I was fine no out breaks. (If I had herpes then wouldn’t it of attacked my body big time?) Then I have safe sex with a new partner on March 22nd and March 29th. 7 days later I got blister in one spot, ( not all over like in Feb) so bad I could not walk, a fever of 102.6, chills, body aches and lightning sharp pain down my legs. I was diagnosed during this outbreak so I know I have it, but it on my vulva not inside of me. Well guy #1 said his test is negative we were together 4 months before my positive diagnosis, and guys #2 only waited 8 weeks from his last partner to get blood tested but it was negative.( could it be wrong?) (How long should he wait to get retested?) My partner before them was 6 months before my positive diagnosis and he is negative. I was tested in December of 2006 for hsv 12 weeks after I left my partner of 3 years and I was negative.( I did not ask for this test my obgyn just did it) Who do you think gave this to me? Was Feb or April my first out break?
