I went to the doctors on Friday as iv been a little sore and itchy. He had a look down there and said it did look like Herpes..he told me not to worry until I get my lab results back...um hello I’m freaking out!!!! Iv been married for two years but been with my partner for 7! We have never been unfaithful to one and other so I’m really confused and upset!! 

I get regular Pap smears and they have always come back clear...

Any help would be amazing!!!!!

      No liquid at all...you know how you get a sore and you scratch it and they just go really red and painful it’s like that...it’s really hard to explain sorry if I’m not being very clear

    Nothing you can do until you get your results back. I trust you were swabbed, not (only) tested for antibodies. Visual diagnoses can be wrong, but only the swab is good for new infections, which it could be, as though less common, it's possible for herpes not to pass until years later.
