had sex with someone new on Wednesday, thought I had a yeast infection so I used monistat that night, it burned really bad so I washed it out. Thursday I took a diflucan, I noticed alot of red discharge and a rash. I thought the monistat burned me. I then started having a fever and sore throat yesterday, I got chaffing oitnment for the rash. today I noticed it was painful to walk and then saw a huge blister, I went to urgent care for a std test, the doctor thinks it yeast however a new blister popped up. i am so scared I cannot stop crying imageimageimage

      Once you notice a bump/sore/lesion, you need to get it swabbed for HSV1/2 within 48 hours. A positive result from a culture test (swab) is very accurate. If it’s in the process of healing, a false negative result is likely. *****You should only use blood tests 6 weeks after your sexual encounter (70% of people will develop enough antibodies (IGG) to be detected in the blood. 92% of people will develop enough antibodies to be detected by 12 weeks. Please be advised that the widely available herpes blood tests (Herpeselect ELISA) are not entirely accurate (misses HSV 1 30% of the time and misses HSV 2 8% of the time).

      you did a blood test too soon. go redo it in 3 months you'll be positive on the blood test. anyway, you have GHSV-1, someone with oral herpes performed oral sex on you and gave it to you down there I'm assuming.
