what testing did you have done?

did you also get tested for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally when you were seen?

how long ago were you diagnosed as having hsv1 genitally? do you have a regular partner and if so, were they tested for herpes to know their own status?

Herpes won't cause a tingle every day.  If the evaluation was just by visual she could be wrong.  Was there a culture done or anything like that?
