i went to the doctor 3 years ago with a sore vagina.

originally i was treated for thrush but when that didnt work she said she suspected herpes and sent me to the clinic. the doctor there agreed that it looked like herpes. although the swab came back negative i accepted that i probably had it.

a week ago i got sore again so started anti viral meds but its got no better, if anything a little worse.

im now wondering if it is herpes after all? im in my late 40's and have only ever had 2 sexual partners which were both long term.image
