Does this look like herpes

Posted , 3 users are following.

The last time i had sex was june 19-21, this had been my first time having sex in four months with my same partner (the only person ive had sex with)unprotected . on the 21st I started to feel irritation and itching, this eventually led to watery discharge with an occasional smell, burning with urination and wiping. after about two weeks i started bleeding heavily from an area around my vaginal opening. I went to urgent care to be examined and the doctor said it looked like a herpes sore that burst, she said it could also be a tear or trich. she took a swab, said the results would be back in a couple days and prescibed me valicyor. within five days the symptoms got better and I called and called and final got my results back 3 weeks later, saying I was positive for HSV2. could this have been a false positive? because I started having symptoms again about a week later only this time it was thick white discharge with a musty smell and itching and irritation this has been going on for weeks now so I dont think its a outbreak. today I woke up and saw this, does this look like herpes ? could the culture test be wrong ?

    the culture swabs are the most effective it more likely to get a false negative than a false positive. what you are expierencing now looks more like a yeast infection than an outbreak.
