Risk of other health affects with a herpes diagnosis?
i am worried about a link between cancers and genital herpes
How fast would treatment be needed after a herpes diagnosis?
I posted a Q a while back about STDs. I went to see 2 doctors about 2 weeks ago, got blood and urine taken, got swabbed and poked and prodded, etc.. to test for every possible STD, bacterial and urinary infections possible.. But in the end both doctors said it looked like genital herpes because I had a wound like thing on my labia and it was all swollen.. One of the doctors gave me loads of meds to treat herpes,gonorrhea,chlamydia,AND a urinary infection before the results came in because I told him I was in a lot of pain.. things are OK now, everything seems to have cleared up. The only thing I am noticing is that I have a kind of scar where the really painful wound was.Now, I've been away for over a week and I come back and my answering machine is swamped my doctor has left several messages on my machine saying my results came in and today she left one saying that she filled out a prescription for me and that i should come pick it up soon because I need treatment.. i'm just wondering, is treatment for genital herpes that urgent? I'm worried my problem is even more serious than herpes now I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE RESULTS OF MY TESTS YET Kinda freaked out here....
I am facing a possible genital herpes diagnosis.... My doctor says?
....that the virus can be in your body for years before you notice anything. That go's against everything I have read or been taught or told. Everything I can find says 1 20 days from contact. I am totally confused scared. I have always had normal PAP smears and have been with my boyfriend for 5mo. and haven't had sex with anyone else for like at least 8 mo. Can someone PLEASE help me to understand this. Also what is on me doesn't look anything like the pictures on th internet. It is just a painful red spot. Anything helps. Also, does anyone have sny pictures that they csn send me? Thanx
Is it normal to not have coped with my herpes diagnosis after a yr?
I was diagnosed with this disease in september 2008 and found out that my pregnancy triggered my first and only outbreak.I had twins in May and I feel even worse about it. I'm scared to kiss my babies. I'm scrubbing, disinfecting, sanitizing all day long. Then, having a daughter I feel that I'm not strong enough as a woman because I did not protect myself so how can I teach her?The only way I could have contracted HSV 2 was through my 14 year old boyfriend when I was 16 or my current Fiance who I have been with for the past three years since I broke up with the 14 yr old. I believe strongly my Fiance is the one who gave it to me but he never had an outbreak until after I had mine. During a fight, he told me that the woman he stepped out of our relationship with didn't have it so he blamed me for giving it to him.How could he accuse me when we had been intimate for years and neither of us had an outbreak? Is it still possible that the woman he was with DID give it to him but it is still undetected in her?If I did GIVE him herpes, wouldn't SHE have it?The whole situation is confusing and lets just say not a day goes by that I don't think about it. I still cry every time I take a shower especially since I am terrified of infecting my babies. I couldn't even experience a natural delivery because I didn't want to risk passing this on to my babies. I hate that I don't know how in the hell I got this.Anyone else not coping well or have any advice how to cope? Anyone have children or any advice on prevention?How do you regain interest in intimacy? I really hate having sex because of this. I trust my partner NOW but I lack confidence and I'm scared of everything else now STD related.Help??? Thoughts??Sorry it's so long
How do you cope with a recent herpes diagnosis?
I'm freaking out about my herpes diagnosis... can someone who has it offer me any advice?
I just found out on Friday that my boyfriend who is getting tested on Monday likely gave me herpes through oral sex without knowing he was a carrier.I have been pretty devastated... the lesions hurt, I'm embarrassed, my medicine isn't working.... I can't help but think about how my sex life is always going to have to be so cautious, how it's going to get in the way just like a period does. What if I have an out break on my wedding day? Do I need to use a separate towel during an outbreak so that I don't spread it to other parts of my body? I can't even wear jeans because it is so irritating, and that's all I ever wear. I'm just scared about having this... I'm not the kind of person that you would imagine gets an STD. Can anyone be of any comfort?I know we will always need a condom if he tests negative I read you can give someone genital herpes through oral sex if you carry that strain, which he does, even without having genital herpes , but he doesn't " work" with a condom. How do you deal with that?

Could my doctor be wrong about negative herpes diagnosis ?
Two days ago I went to the doctor because I had some discomfort in my vagina and I thought I felt a bump on my labia. I thought it might be a razor bump but fearing it could be Herpes I figured I'd get it looked at anyway. She checked me out and said everything looked okay just irritated and that I had something that looked like blisters in my vaginal wall but that she had poked and prodded at them and I hadn't reacted so it couldn't possibly be Herpes because I would have been screaming with pain. She asked if I had done anything new and I told her I had tried the KY Intrigue heat. She went on a rant on how those things should be outlawed and said I had Contact Dermatitis. She didn't give me any medication only told me to put a cold cloth to sooth the area and if it got too bad to use diaper rash cream, which I did use and it did make me feel better. I asked her if I should get a blood test to be positve it's not herpes but she said it wasn't necessary that the bumps did not act in a hepatic manner. I thought everything was fine but last night I got a fever out of nowhere and when I woke up this morning I had several more bumps on my labia. They don't hurt and they are not liquid filled, they are just hard little bumps and my pubic area feels tender. This is only my second time shaving this area so I don't know how bad razor bumps can get but this feels wrong to me.
Herpes diagnosis question?
a couple of days ago i developed painful bumps on my vagina.there were many changes that happened prior.just the night before i switched laundry soap, switched regular soap and washed below, and wore brand new underwear.i went to my gyno because the pain was far too strong, and after looking for literally no more than 10 seconds, she diagnosed me with herpes.she did a culture and said that even if it comes back negative, her diagnosis sticks and i have herpes.she made me feel pretty dirty and acted like herpes was nothing and sent me on my way.is it possible it's an allergic reaction?my skin overall is VERY sensitive.i've had multiple breakouts to multiple shampoo, soap, toilet paper.and i think i had something similar to this once when i was younger.i have none of the other symptoms of herpes.i wasn't itchy or tingly before the bumps onset.i don't have flu like symptoms, and nothing else that was mentioned.my partner and i were together a little over a month before this even happened and i've never seen any symptoms of this on him.have i been misdiagnosed?or is she the kind of doctor that just wants people in and out in five minutes so they'll tell them anything?she told me itll take up to 4 weeks for it to go away, but its starting to go away and it's only been 2 days.just to be safe, about two weeks ago i had a full std test done, and i get the results back next week from that.if the std test as well as the culture both come back negative does it mean i dont have it?'monkii' i'm not asking for someone to tell me i have herpes, i'm asking for answers to the other questions.
