  1. I got a culture done but it came back negative. my np told me that she got a really good swab so it should be accurate but i just found out today it was negative...
  2. I am going through the same thing. Have you found out any more?? i am lost and confused
  3. Im in the same position.. I'm supposed to end tomorrow but i still have the sores. I'm thinking that i will stop taking it just because they are beginning to scab over, which means it is healing and isn't contagious anymore. but if i stop it and it comes back then i will begin taking it again. you may want to get it refilled to have just in case
  4. I am so desperate for answers ): About two weeks ago I had unprotected sex with a partner whom I had had intercourse with once before during the winter. We then both returned to college, and engaged again in the summer. Background story, I have been talking to a guy from the college I attend and we had unprotected sex a few times about two weeks before I had sex with the second guy. Im talking to the guy from my college but we are not dating because I am 20 hours away from him during the summer and next semester I will be studying abroad in Spain so I don't want to be official with him just to be gone for 8 months. But, I felt so bad hooking up with the guy that I ended up stopping in the middle of sex because I was upset that I was hooking up with someone else while still talking to him. So, the nest day after having sex with the guy I started having symptoms if what I thought to be a UTI or yeast infection. After a day or two of having an itching, burning vagina and after lots of research, I went to target and bought vagisil wipes (which resulted in slight temporary relief) and AZO yeast infection pills that I began taking. I also began noticing bumps but I had assumed that they were from dry shaving (a mistake I will never make again as it was painful). So at this point I thought I just had a yeast infection with irritation bumps. I went to my doctor (i don't have a gynecologist) and did a urine analysis for a bladder infection which came back normal. They told me to go to a gynecologist. Two days after that (about 4 days after the unprotected sex) I got pink eye. Went to a walgreens minute clinic for eye drops and briefly asked the NP there about my symptoms and she recommended Monistat cream. I got that and used it externally because the itching and burning was unreal and almost unbearable. This was on a sunday, and I barely made it until Wednesday when I finally made an appointment at PP. I thought I maybe had trichomoniasis or another treatable STD because of my symptoms of itching, burning, and swollen labia. I got looked at and my NP said that she is pretty sure it was herpes due to the appearance of them. The bumps had turned from what looks like irritation from dry shaving, to pimples with puss, to sores. She looked at a swab of my vagina and saw a lot of yeast. So she said my symptoms were from a yeast infection and I probably had herpes. She took a good culture of my sores and said that it will most likely come back positive because she took a very good swabbing of it. She gave me acyclovir to take to start treatment and medication for the yeast infection as well. She also tested for trich, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. Since being tested, I drove west for the summer to work at a lodge in the middle of the mountains. Today, I called to receive my results and she said the tests that came back, trich and herpes, are negative... She said a false negative can occur, but I still have in the back of my mind what my doctor told me that she believes she got a very accurate culture. However, the nurse did tell me a false negative may occur if the culture was taken too late after the symptoms first show. Either way, I need to know if I have it so I can tell the two guys. The incubation period is 2 to 20 days apparently, so it could be either guy. I would feel so horrible if i contracted herpes from the second guy WHILE talking to the first guy, even though I told him about that hook up. I feel that if I have herpes because of the second guy, any chances of a future relationship with this guy will be ruined. He is a great guy and I was so upset with myself with the hook up in the first place and IF he gave me herpes, I will be devastated. Does anyone have ANY advice or anything?? I want to get a blood test to confirm or not but I am in the middle of nowhere so i wouldn't even know where I could go. This is all so much and so confusing and I haven't told anyone because I'm so embarrassed and mortified and I just want to know for sure what to do and who to tell. Sorry this is so much information but i will sum up the timeline to clear things up: Saturday night: unprotected sex with guy Sunday: start having yeast infection symptoms. Start getting pumps from dry shaving the night before?? I thought.. Monday on: horrible horrible bringing, itching, swelling, etc Tuesday: get test for bladder infection Sunday: go to walgreens for pink eye, get monistic cream Wednesday: get tested. Please help i feel so alone and scared and I know it gets better but i just want to know what is wrong with my body ): Oh, and now it has been over 2 weeks since the symptoms started and i am still so itchy and it burns and still have sores that have scabbed over AND have come back and I believe are about to scab over again and i am on day 9 of 10 days of my acyclovir prescription.
