New HSV Diagnosis
Posted , 3 users are following.
hi! I tested positive for HSV2 a couple of months ago. Its been hell since. Im afraid every tingle in my body is the start of an OB.
Long story short I was experiencing burning for over a year. My doctor was terrible and just kept saying it was a yeast infection. I went to a new doctor and told her about my health history (including hemmorhoids). The hemmorhoids were really bothering me at the time I went to see this doctor so she looked at them and wanted to test for herpes (swab). I had one little cut on one of the hemmorhoids, I would assume it was from all the wiping I was doing since I was on the toilet a lot. She called me back about 5 hours later and said i was positive for hsv2 (how did she know so quickly). I know its common but i find it highly unlikely since I have not been sexually active in the last year, or that means that ive had it for a long time. Ive had 4 sexual partners in my 25 years and never had more than one partner at a time. I was with my last partner for 7 years. the other 3 partners i had sex with one time. Could she have misdiagnosed me?

take a blood test or western blot

you say she called, but did you actually see the test result? if not I'd start there

I saw the results on my chart website but thats it. it said "DNA amplification" which at my doctors office means they checked themselves instead of sending it to the lab. another thing i find odd about it is that I've had cold sores before so I should have been positive for 1, but I wasnt, only for 2.

I think dna amplification reflects a pcr swab which is generally pretty reliable. was the the only result based off a swab or did you have hsv igg blood levels drawn too?

only based off the swab. I havent had any other testing.
