  1. I got diagnosed with genital herpes (HSV-2) about 5 months ago by a swab test on an ulcer which I thought was from an allergic reaction to a thrush cream I hadn't used before. Like an idiot I had kept using the cream and the ulcers were getting worse and worse I had multiple ones on my inner lips where the cream was going and around my anus as the cream would move everywhere. After a week of the ulcers getting worse and being the most painful thing I have had and I went to the doctors and that is where she did the swab of only one of the ulcers and told me what she thought it was which I was devastated by the news. After 5 days results came back saying it was type 2 I got very basic information and was told I can't go on suppressive therapy as I have only had one outbreak and in Australia they can't give it out anymore unless u have had multiple ob's. the doctor also told me there is only a 1% chance of me spreading it and that if she had it she wouldn't bother telling people she was having casual sex with. I was mortified by that as I had already done some research. So I have not had an ob since, though I do get sensitive skin now down there and I was wondering are swabs 100% accurate or could the thrush cream interfere with results and should I have a blood test to make 100% sure?
