HERPES, TRICH AND CONFUSION

good morning, i hope someone can help me cause at this point i am so lost.

i previously added my results of herpes type 2 which came back 3.4 (IgG), i tested negative for trichomoniasis that same week (i was on my period she said it would be harder to detect cause of that?) but was re-tested for all the remaining std's again and a week later it came out postive for trichomoniasis, now where i am REALLY CONFUSED IS MY HUSBAND WHICH I HAVE BEEN WITH FOR A DECADE ALL HIS RESULTS CAME BACK NEGATIVE THIS WEEK, his herpes type 2 result was 0.2 (IgG) and the trich was negative. (THESE ARE THE ONLY ISSUES WITH ME, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS NEGATIVE)

now i am wondering could my herpes test be wrong and how does trich show up on mine and not his and all this was done by urine samples for the trich test.

we have been thru it with this, mostly me because i am the one in pain but don't show any herpes breakouts nothing and neither does he, i took the trich medication last night but i am so confused cause at this point i don't know who to trust,the doctor tells me negative one week and positive the next and him, i thought he cheated and gave me this but his results are negative and i have not slept with anyone but him, but i know i am in pain inside my vagina feels like contraction (i am not pregnant) and i have itching that won't go away but i do not see crabs or anything of the sort and my other results are negative,i also come up negative for UTI AND YEAST INFECTION AND BV EVERYTHING ELSE) I REALLY THINK IF ALL OF THIS IS CONNECTED TO MY COPPER IUD BUT DOCTORS KEEP ACTING AS IF IT IS NOT POSSIBLE EVEN THOUGH I FOUND HUNDREDS OF WOMEN WITH THE SAME STORIES OF PAIN SO IF BY SOME CHANCE IT'S NOT THE IUD,  can someone please help me with the possibility of this happening (THE STD CONFUSION) or clear up some facts for me! FYI I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR OVER A MONTH AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON ANYMORE, MY EMOTIONS HAVE BEEN ON THE WORST EMOTIONAL RIDE!
thank you!

Hi, your hsv2 herpes test boarders on the false positive range. Usually a score of 3 and under would requires a second test a couple of months later.

Most tests for trich are done with a smear of your vaginal fluids as also the same with men. Urine test can be done but identifying the pear shaped trich parasites can be a little trickey.
The most common symptom of trich is a green discharge and can be very uncomfortable, If you dont have any symptoms of trich chances are that you had a false positive.

i didn't have green discharge, i'm actually going in an hour to the dr again, the pain is still there, at this point i really believe it's my IUD causing all these problems, by my symptoms and what i have been reading looks like i have PID cause of the IUD, i will see if she can test me today for it, in a few weeks i am getting it taken out by surgery cause it is stuck hopefully all the pain and confusion stops, i will update after and retest everything again once it is out of me.

thanks so much life360, :)
