Thank you all! Do any of you have a suggestion of how long I should wait until I get tested again for more accurate results?
Aimee, I am definitely going to do some research and find a place nearby me when I get home that will do a Western Blot test on me. I became inflamed and irritated within hours of having sex for the first time with my new partner for the next several days. About 5 days after that, I came down with severe flu-like symptoms. My usual doctor said she saw a bump but didn't consider it herpes because I had recently been tested and those results were all negative. She concluded I had a yeast infection and put me on medication for that as well as a z-pack. I left the following day to go out of the country and that's when the bumps and blisters began to show (so about a week from having sex with him)
@WCSDancer2010 -
They did a blood test and a swab culture. Results from the microscopy came back negative for IgM and IgG for HSV1 and HSV2 and the swab culture showed "Absent" in all fields and a '4' on the nugent score. The aerobic culture stated a mixed growth of organisms was obtained with no dominant organism and no typical genital pathogen was detected.
And thank you for the links! It's been easy keeping the information from him since I've been out of the country but I head back in a few days so I know I need to sit down with him and explain everything that I just went through.
