Perineum papercut/fissure: herpes or yeast infection?
Posted , 5 users are following.
This cut/fissure appeared 3 weeks after I last had sex with a HSV-2 positive partner (he was on antiviral therapy, so he says, but then he had an outbreak a few days after we had sex). Gynecologist said looked like herpes, but I had a DNA PCR swab done of that cut/fissure and the results came back negative. I had the DNA PCR swab done again one week later in the same spot (after it healed). That also came back negative. I had a IgG blood test done (3 weeks from exposure) and that came back negative. So, tests are telling me negative, but why would I get a cut/fissure like that? Anyone else have something like this that turned out to be yeast infection? The first gynecologist did not suspect that, so I was not tested for yeast. I know that even if this particular fissure is not herpes that it is still possible I was infected with HSV and will not know for sure until I repeat the IgG blood test in a few months.

Ok thanks for responding; I have not had sex since March 15 out of fear I have herpes. I had two in-person gynecology visits and one telemedicine and all 3 gynecologists said looks like herpes, but tests negative. This uncertainty is driving me crazy.

takes 2- 4 months for herpes to show up in a blood test
