Tingling started on my vag around 3 days ago. I feel it in my legs now and I'm uncomfortable. I did go the Dr to tell them about it and they did a standard STD screening via urine sample. When I asked about getting tested for HSV, I was basically told that it's so common that they don't typically test for it. At the time I was too afraid to tell them to do it anyway. I'm afraid of the potential results. Could the tingling possibly be due to something else ?

    Hi

    please insist on doing STI test. We are so focus on HIV that we ignore STI's

    the sooner you know the better it is so you dont endanger someone else and you can begin mentally to prepare yourself for how you move forward
