Do i have herpes?

Not at all! I'm getting it swabbed tomorrow as well as a blood test for both types. I'll keep you updated but what do you think?

Judging from how ours look similar, i would say no bc of what my dr told me. two of them said no. but i have a few of them !

Well did you ever get them tested?

yes, 2 days ago. in a few days I should have a result

OMG plz tell me your results when you get them

im STILL waiting for my damn results. has it gotten any better?

herpes usually clear up within 7/14 days it dosnt hang around for months

Found out I have type 1. Ive always had cold sores since I was younger before any sexual activity (i'm 18) so I assumed it was pimples but I guess not. I guess after researching and gahtering information about herpes, it better prepared me for the worst. When I heard my results I didnt feel sad at all.

Anyway, I actually have folliculitis on my lower region. That cut was from when i knicked myself with an old razor

Did you motice the bumps a week or so after you shaved ?

the buMPS I had on me were gone in maybe 5 days. , THE DR GAVE me a herpes med to see it it helps with the "outbreak" & it didnt. so she thinks is folliculitis and bc of some other stuff I have goong on down there , she gave my flagyl. it helped almost instantly

Yea i would break out right after i shaved

And yeah, I dont have genital herpes, turns out

good least the worrys over

Did you have just one sore? I have about 5. Been waiting in my results for past 3 days and Im on edge.

KIM DOES THIS LOOK LIKE HERPES? I HAD 2 GYN SAY IT WAS HERPES AND WAS PLACED ON MEDS. THEY SWABBED AND TOOK TEST. WAITIGNON RESULT BUT DEPRESSED AND FREAKING OUT.

it does look like herpes but i have seen similar spots from shaving so its hard to tell how long have u had them ??

Kim- for about 10 days . I just noticed them 5 days ago after me and my boyfriend had sex after I used the restroom. Before that I felt a little pain but thought it was due to severe diarreah / toilet paper.

not convinced its herpes i thought they would have burst and be at the scab stage as they usually only stay around for 14 days from when they. break out to when they clear up

some of them look to be right were theres hair follicles aswel which look like infected follicles the 2 im not sure about are the ones below the vagina that look to be open sores

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Gives me some hope. Ill hopefully have my results back tomorrow.

good luck

kim Thank you. I have not received my culture, pcr, or blood test back and its been 5 days. Im waiting anxiously. Checking every hour.

was prescribed acyclovir and Ive been on it for 5 days. Ive noticed that their has been a change. Im still hoping and praying it is not herpes. Do you how soon its takes for the medication to heal the herpes wounds? Below is an image from 5 days ago when I discovered the sore and image of day 6. Today is 13 days of when I started feeling the pain near my rectum.

the sores should be healed by about 14 days giv or take a couple of days they should have gone by now i would have thought if u have been given antivirals

those 2 that was open sores do look alot better than they did fingers crossed that its not herpes

Kim - Im sorry to bother you but right now I feel that you are the only person I can talk to. I got my results back today and Im so confused. My culture test came back negative for HSV1 and HSV2, but my test results said negative for HSV2 and positive for HSV1. What does that mean? Why is the culture negative yet I have these sores bear my anus and vagina.

So confused, sad, and upset.

u have hsv1 the sores on the genitals were not hsv2

the culture has come back as not hsv1 or 2 the rash is more than likley something else like from friction or shaving etc

hsv1 mainly effects the mouth but can sometimes effect the genitals if those cultures have come back as negative then its likley u dont have either of them on the genitals and just have it on the mouth u might never have had a cold sore on the mouth before herpes can lay dormant and then crop up 10 years down the line this may be the case if u never have a cold sore yet
