the sores just came in last friday, i didn't know what to do. so I had to get tested.
you needed to wait 1 week post encounter for testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea. 6 weeks post encounter for syphilis testing. 3 months for herpes and hiv testing . it sounds like the testing you had done so far was done too early?
well the sores arent on the outside of my bottom lip. they are at the arch of my lips meeting and more going inside then out. I did get blood drawn, but idk if they did it for everything or just hiv. i will see my results form that in a week. I will also try and get another blood test for herpes, but does it sound like it? This is my first outbreak.
Canker sores on the inside of your mouth. Regardless you need to be seen by a provider. They can test you for syphilis.
im on the 5th day and nothing has erupted or became crusty. I dont under stand what this could be!
could it be possible that i have a canker sore on my lip and syphilis on m penis??
The pictures online don't really show what everyone's real outbreaks are they are the more severe one and meant for teaching medical students.
Visual diagnosis can be wrong 1/3 of the time even among the HSV experts themselves. So If your encounter was longer than 3 months ago get a type specific igg blood test to know your status. Though a positive test will not tell you the location. If you get a repeat of symptoms be seen within 24-48hrs for a lesion culture with typing.
