so i did a full blood std test and hsv 2 and everything else except hsv 1 come back negative. they did a swab on a spot i thought was a blister and it was also negative. i havent had a normal blister outbreak but i feel tingly and itchy down there all the time i have for a month. my pubic hair is always burning and itchy on the pubic bone and my anus area is raw and itchy and burning all the time. i did both kinds of herpes tests igg and igm it was only 6 weeks after exposure but the dr told me at 6 weeks it should show up. can it be herpes? the symptoms arent going away but no blisters. its been so long since the irritation started and i want it to go away.

i have the most irritation in between my butt cheeks. and in between my vagina and butt area. image

    6 weeks would be a long time to have herpes outbreak for if u have had symptoms for that long your herpes values are quite low and according to those u dont need to retest did u swab for other vaginal infections aswel as herpes if u have no sores and have symptoms that something isnt right it could be another cause as not just herpes can cause those symptoms but vaginal infections yeast bv chlamydia etc u could retest for herpes in a couple of months to see if those values have increased

      ye herpes wouldnt cause symptoms for such a long period of time u need to re visit a doctor something else mabe the cause the area between the vagina and anus is common for skim problems such as fungal and bacterial issues with it being close to both the vaginal opening and the anus it needs further investigation into other possibilities

    i got your message and for one, i dont see anything similar to a herpes outbreak in this photo. looks completely normal. and yah 6 weeks should be enough time but if you want to be sure give it another month and a half. 3 months is when most people will show positves if they are. but dont worry, i was experiencing the exact same things as you. i can link you to my post but i turned out to be negative for hsv2 (i have oral hsv1 already). so dont psyche yourself out

    same as you. Everything neg except hsv1 (i get fever blisters) & im so uncomfortable and irritated in vaginal and anal areas. Been in and out of the dr for months. Just sent a message to him asking if i can do ANOTHER full panel and test for everything one last time. Also asked if he cant help me; what type of doctor does he recommend bc i need help!

    i am red and have 2 spots i know causing me pain and irritation and redness...but its not herpes. Wondering if its a wart growing or something.

    do you have any symptoms like sore arms, thighs, achy neck & shoulders?!
