Convinced this is herpes, ER doctor swears it isnt

Posted , 6 users are following.

after finishing antibiotics for bv and starting a new oral birth control, i began feeling irritation when i peed,but it wasnt too painful so i summed it up to a yeast infection caused by antibiotics. that was thursday&friday after feeling it again saturday i decided to look and saw 4 sores leading into the entrance. later that night i went to the er to get them swabbed. the er doctor did not test for hsv despite the cuts saying there wasnt anything suggesting it. so i asked what they could have been caused by and she said to me "i dont know". she only tested for basic stds and yeast, i asked that she swab them just in case so i could have a peace of mind but she didnt come back and they discharged me and gave me 4 antibiotics and a shot as well for antibiotics.. but then told me all my results were negative and to follow up with my obgyn. at that point in the hospital the sores were white. after showering they are reddish but when dry they look pink and like cuts. so far the size of them has not changed or spread

    im currently going through the same thing and im terrified , i got tested last month and i was negative for herpes and again in august and i was negative both times.. today i woke up with itchiness that was unbareable, went to the ER and she did a pelvic exam.. she didnt see anything unusal, said it was possible it could be a yeast infection, and called back told me it was BV!! but i have the same spots on my vagina
