Happy New Year’s Eve

A few more questions and then I will make another phone consult and order the swabs….

1) when would u suggest I swab my genital area and where? If I feel pro dome, if I am a symptomatic?

2). How do I swab non fluid filled bumps? Just on the skin? Or do I have to scrape the skin? How easy is it to pick up the virus from non fluid filled bumps? If it says negative should I believe it? Do non fluid filled bumps make unless contagious than fluid filled ones?

3). All my swabs have come back negative that I have done although they are culture swabs and not pcr swabs, would a clear watery yellow discharge be a symptom of primary ghsv1? And if it was swabbed within 24 hrs, why would it come back negative?

4). In ur experience, how rare is a primary ghsv1 with no lesions? I had vaginal swelling and cervix looked fine but they didn’t swab internally, if my cervix was infected, how soon would it look infected with either internal lesions or any other indications after the first initial symptom like a swollen vagina? I had it looked within hrs of any pain and then 48 hours later….is this snuff? Would lesions show up by then?

5). How soon do lesions appear after a primary ghsv1 ob?

6). Are lesions always yellow clear filled blisters or cuts? Are there are white filled ones?

I appreciate ur patience, this is all so very atypical for me….no lesions, everything swabbed negative, Elisa always negative despite western blot positive, constant nerve pain and burning for a year which has now subsided , bumps non fluid filled, vaulters doesn’t work, I just feel like a total freak.
