Tested for genital herpes but impossible to have caught it?

Thanks for the reply. Hes going to go get tested if mine come back positive. Its really scary, you know. I just cant wrap my mind around it. Ill tell him the information you have just told me, could be a possibility right.

How bad wa your outbreak? Im in so much pain, without even moving its just terrible. Also how long did it last? What medications did you use?

I'll be honest my first outbreak was awful I was in so much pain and more than anything I felt really depressed about it, it seems like that's quite common for most people when they first get diagnosed.

Even though my boyfriend was so supportive about it all I still felt so alone and down about it, but after a week or so it does start to feel more managable I promise.

I was on aciclovir antiviral for 10 days which cleared up the sores but I then had very intense itching for about another month which was so much worse than the pain of the sores in my opinion.

Just keep yourself dosed up on painkillers and take a lot of salt baths.

However bad it sounds I'm now completely fine and all symptoms have gone so however terrible it seems it will get better. Support forums like this have been great because you know that you aren't alone and someone else out there will have had the same symptoms or feelings that you have.

A month? oh my thats terrible. Im depressed right now, my boyfriendis being supportive also but im getting that alone feeling. Im reading that stress can cause it to be worse or cause more breakouts; how can you not be stressed with information like this. Ugh.

Really helps talking to someone who has experianced this. I picked up a cream that will stop the spreading but side effects can cause burning and itching and thats exactly what i thought it would stop. No painkillers ive taken so far have helped remotely.

Busybe, unfortunately there's not much you can do fie the first outbreak, you gotta just ride it out.

- What you can do to help, is take daily Epsom salt baths for as long as possible .

- use destin diaper rash cream on sores. Any type of diaper rash cream that says its ingredients are zinc oxide will help.

- take 800mlgs every 4 hrs of an anti-inflammatory, such as motrin

- when resting, wrap a cold pwcktw paper towels to stick between your legs.

- also get the spray bottle of Bactine to spray the sores to numb them.

- sometimes putting Vaseline on then e a heavy coating peovies some relief she using the bathroom or sit in a shallow bath and go.

Hang in there hun, it gets better. Do not stress your recurrents will be like this, because they won't. My recurrents have been nothing motmrw than one bump.. Don't stress

thanks for all the information ill probably be trying everyone of them this weekend

i really hope it wont be as bad as this again

i have read some people get them very frequently and are just  as painful, is that true?

I'm someone who had a horrendous primary ob, w neuropathy so bad down my buttock and back if legs, I had to go to the emergency room and be placed on nerve pain medication. I have not had pain that has stopped me from daily activities in the subsequent monthly obs I have every month. Every one is different. Just focus in booting your immune system and be patient w your body adapting to the virus. Some of pur bodies are slower at it than others. I've had it almost a yr and it's taken that long for me to at least jot have symptom's daily anymore. I am the exception, not the rule. I have other autoimmune syndrome that make my immune system exhuasted, so that's why it's been constant fie me. I'd not even know I had a recurrent, had I not made a habit of checking daily. I don't any more, unless I drink a lot of liquor and go out Kate, I do check, cause that usually triggers an ob.. One bump and that's it.

The itching is the worst part for me i hate it i hav had it for lik almst a month but but things are subsiding and yes salt baths are grrrrreaat😀😀😀😁😁😁

Well he is my 3rd sexual partner before him I was with two other men... but thats about 3 years ago.

They didnt give me much insight as to which one it was they just plain out said you have got herpes. Ill find out in a few days.

Thanks for the reply btw

Well let me know which one. It is. You either got oral heroes from him or llhe is an asymptomatic carrier of hsv 2

ill be finding out in a few days, ill let you know

So my results have came back and its acutally a UTI they found inmy urine and a allegic reaction, ive been put on antibiotics and everything has settled down

really helped to not feel alone this weekend, thanks for all the replys

also have you tried an anti itch cream? i think pollysporn makes a really good one

 

Did they swab you or take your blood?

it was a blood test

the antibiotics are working so well i almost have no pain

i wish i could get my 100 dollars back for the cream though

So you had itching? And pain in your vagina? How do you feel now?

New infections, blood tests come back w false negatives, if it is in fact herpes. So I took a blood test a week after infection and it can e back negative. Took another one 3 months later and it came back positive. You gotta give time for your body to build antibodies. I'd go back in another 3 months, just to be sure.

UTIs don't cause rashes. It takes 3-6 months to build antibodies... Just for peace of mind, I would go back

there was no itching it was just pain  burning and a rash which  came from the yeast infection medication i used which cause an illergic reaction.

my boyfriend and i were tested before we got together thats why it was so mind boogling as to where it could have came from unless litterally a toilet seat. i think i will get tested annulyconsidering this scare though

almost all my pain is gone now includimng the burning, the rash has cleared at least by half if not more, im surprised how fast the antibiotics are working and on the other hand im pretty upset wifh the doctor i went though a lot of pain, they should have been able to diagnois me quicker

 

Sometimes it's not always cut and dry. Did you get tested for both hsv 1 and 2?

You know that full std panels do not include herpes right and if you don't specifically request herpes test, they will not put you in for it. Alas, good to hear.
