Help please? Is this herpes

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi, ive gotten about two breakouts this year. im not sure if they are herpes or what test to get taken now that they are gone. i thought they were caused by irritation or something else, but a person i was with a while ago is rumored to have herpes. could this be herpes and i not know it ? imageimageimageimage

    hi yes this looks like herpes, if the sores arent there you can still get a blood test which will show you if you have it

      thank you for responding. i got one test done and it was negative. is it possible the test was wrong? and is there limit on the amount of times I can get tested?

      did you get a blood or swab test? sometimes swab tests may give false negatives. blood is way more accurate. otherwise this could also be a wart

      yes it was a blood test. it was for a yearly check up. ive never gotten swabbed.
