Negative tests only visual dx
Posted , 8 users are following.
My bf had a sore at the base of his penis, had sex with me THEN tells me about the sore, him thinking it was from a cut. 3 days later I get the bumps then the sores. I go to urgent care and the NP says it looks like herpes and does bloodwork....no swab. I didn't know about the swab test. She puts me on the meds and 1 week later the sores clear up. All labs are negative. Then I get a case of shingles down there...no blisters just all of the pain so I continue taking the meds for that. I finally get to see my ob/gyn. He does a swab test for all of the STD'S and I show him a picture of my bf's sore. He says it looks like a classic herpes sore. The cultures are not back yet. My question is if I had already been on the meds and the OB was already cleared up, would the culture still find the virus? Yes, I'm feeling like my life is over now and this sorry excuse for a man bolted when I told him that I think he gave that to me. He wouldn't go to the dr. Also, does it sound like this us something he gave me? Woyld I get an OB that quickly? We had been together for 2 months.
BTW, these duscussions have been helpful in getting me through this because I am going through this alone now. Thank you all fir being so supportive.

Yeah, those are immature guys for you. They refuse to go to the dr. And are in denial. So they keep spreading it and they keep their distance from you till they disappear.
They know they had it but their playing dumb. Thanks for the gift buddy.

You're a male ?
That's crazy I always thought it was a low percentage of males that get it from females . Sorry you are going through this .
How long have you had the disease ?

I know and understand exactly what you are going through. Initially it doesn't take long for some type of symptom to come about .,
It's best that you just get a swab and know the full criteria of everything..
It's messed up that you are going through this and you were in complete blind with the disease.. I went through the same thing ever so often I still get a little depressed and feel like my life and especially my sex life is over .
You currently taking suppressive medicine ?
I can say this honestly taught me something . I think things through fully when I'm out and m about ..
It's harder to Come out and tell someone you have herpes , especially since it's not a everyday topic ..
Things will smooth over and please know and understand , God wouldn't put you through it if he didn't think you could make it .

He was aware that he has symptoms of some sort but wasnt going to tell me about it. I had to ask and confront him.
Hope your feeling better its not as bad as everyone makes it seem
