    What are your symptoms? Because it looks like herpes, I'm not sure, it's just an opinion...

    i would go and have the sores swabbed for herpes. it is much more reliable. im 98% sure this is herpes. its so common

    it can lie dormant for years before someone shows symptoms.. some people never do they are asymtimatic which is why the disease is so easily spread. also HSV1 can be transfered by oral sex if your partner has had a cols sore and performes oral sex on you.

      the blood tests are not as accurate as a swab

      do you have a local health clinic that can see you? sometimes general doctors can perform pelvic exams as well. you have to be yout own advocate. did she prescrive you any topical cream for it?
