I had sex in July, a few weeks later i had itching and burning when i went to the doctor to get tested everything came back negative and i was told i had a yeast infection. I still was scared so i went back in December and got retested because i had sores on my tongue my blood work came back negative for Herpes again and the doctor told me i have canker sores but they are not going away I’m so scared can my test results be wrong after 5 months or the blood work would have shown if i have Herpes by now?  Please help me understand

    Olive leaf extract helps take care of my canker sores. I buy Olive Leaf Supreme on Amazon and take two capsules 3x daily and they disappear quickly. It’s a natural antiviral.

    From what I understand, herpes would show up on an IGg blood test within 3-4 months.

      Thank you so much i will try that. Yes i have read that as well It is just scary that all these problems are happening back to back. I never had all theses issues and I’m not really a sexually active person  before that one time in July I.T was a whole year. I guess I.T might be my nerves getting the best of me

    IgG testing for herpes after 3 months is considered good. If your sores are on soft parts of the insides of your mouth (e.g., cheeks, inner lip, tongue), then they are indeed canker sores. Or you can get one swabbed when newly developed, but if your doctor is saying they're canker sores and you tested negative after all this time, I'd stop worrying. Doesn't sound like you have herpes.
