Hello, I posted previously and no one really answered me
I had sex 9 days ago and yesterday started experiencing some pain and burning around my vagina
Today the pain became very severe and I went to get tested for chlamydia and Gono but the doctor saw nothing to swab, could the sores appear 2 days after discomfort began? I am so confused
Should I just wait it out?

The next day is when my flu like symptoms started and the sores started appear. By the following day I had a temp of 102 and swollen glands.
I called the dr on call, it was a Sunday, and she sent me to the ER. That's where they made my diagnosis, and the test results confirmed it 3 days later, but they were 99% sure it was HSV1 before Ileft the hospital.
Hope this helps

I've been having some vaginal discomfort for two days now but no sores/redness/bumps/anything out of the ordinary can be seen that is why I am so confused
How long after sex did you start having symptoms? If you dont mind me asking
I just really don't know what to make of all of this and dont know how to proceed to sort out what it is if there ends up being nothing to swab

So, ask a lot of questions when you see your dr.

I was clueless becasue I was convinced I had shingles. I never thought this could happen to me.
Don't let them intimidate you , as I did at the ER. From what I am learning, this condition is much more common than most of think. Be informed and ask questions.
The person I believe passed this on to me through oral, said he was tested and when I asked for more details, all he said is that he is negative and what does it matter where I got it. He may have tested negative, but I don't beleive that. I'm convinced it came from him, based on his comments.
Good Luck and keep me posted.

I will definitely let you know thank you so much.
Sorry to be really forward but what has it been like for you living with HSV-1, have you had a lot of outbreaks? Have you only had one partner with it? or have you had to tell others? that is obviously mainly what I am worried about if this is in fact HSV, which i really do believe it is.

Every situation is different. The gut that I think gave this to me is no longer in the picutre, I was seeing a friend with benefits but we are no longer speaking, but for other reasons. He was so supportive when all this went down.
Currently, I have so much going on in other aspects of my life, that Ihave no interest in beginning a relationship with anyone.
Keep in mind that I have only been wih 4 people in my life and I'm 49, so I'm pretty positve where this came from.
I'm convinced that I will not let this define who I am and neither should you.

Yeah its true, I was tested two weeks ago long after any sexual encounter and was negative, so if I do have it it was 100% from this encounter. Which makes me feel a bit better about who I would have to inform ect. I just worry about telling partners in the future as that would be very difficult for me.
It is really helpful to hear that you have been livng and going on and not letting this define you! I am so nervous about seeing the doctor tomorrow but know that it is something I have to do.
