Is this herpes

Posted , 5 users are following.

I started having unprotected sex with my new partner about 4 weeks ago. I first started experiencing light itching about 5 days ago thought it was a yeast infection but it was so painful to even use the monistat treatment. I also started my cycle the same day symptoms started. Pain got so bad I left work early to get checked at urgent care center. I was told I had a uti and I was prescribed antibiotics for it and also valacyclovir for the pain I described that I was feeling. I've been experiencing extremely painful urination, itching, and also this pins and needles feeling in my feet . I was tested for everything and blood was drawn for hsv but I'm currently waiting on my results and I'm so anxious! the sore in the second picture appeared yesterday and is very itchy.image

      no, i was under the impression that i was tested for hsv but i was only tested for hiv (which everything came back negative) so i just got tested again for hsv this wednesday currently waiting on results . First symptons cleared up within a few days. I recently started my period and that triggered this irritation its not nearly as bad as the first time. Lady at urgent care said she believe its not hsv, but i went to get a papsmear yesterday and she said based on my symptoms she believe that it is she did swab me so im still playing the waiting game.
