Please help! Herpes symptoms, but culture test came back negative!

Posted , 6 users are following.

So I went to the doctors after sores started appearing on my genitals. Two weeks prior, I had a really bad foul fishy smell, but that was it. I wasn't able to get it checked. After that, when I showed up at the doctors with the sores, I got that tested, but it came out negative for herpes but I had chlamydia. The sores have been uncomfortable and I also have light yellow discharge, what is it? I got the flu symptoms as well. I took my medication for chlamydia, but that is it. Is it possible its herpes?

    was it a blood test they did or swabs for herpes.

    did you ask them to test for herpes because its actually not included in most panels.

    this does resemble a outbreak.

      Yeah, after I got my results I called asking what I was tested for, they said I was tested for HSV1 and HSV2, chlamydia and gonnehrea (don't know how to spell sorry). Everything but chlamydia came back negative.

    bacterial vaginosis is the cause of the fishy smell its a bacterial vaginal infection not an std its happens when the ph of the vagina changes u can buy over the counter remedies at the chemist or doctors can prescribe antibiotics it can csuse mild itching soreness or the outer vagina and a thin watery or thick fishy smell discharge

    i had the same thing i got tested twice culture and igg blood 4 months after . all test came back negative. but i did have a really bad yeast infection and chlamydia. after i took the medicine for chlamydia i felt relief literally the next day. they put me on valtrex before they found out i had chlamydia and that did nothing for me. but A severe yeast infection does cause lesions in some cases and also chlamydia causes lesions. and my partner did not have any sores ... tested negative for herpes , we still have unprotected sex until this day. He has not broken out or tested postive for herpes. and i havent broken out since either.

      When did your sores go away? I took the chlamydia medication and I felt slight relief, but I still have the itchiness and sores. I'm glad I'm not alone!
