Reply To: Ex Boyfriend tested positive for HSV2

[MissEducated]

Hello There,

My HSV1 Status is HSV 1 IGG, EIA <0.90 0.10.

I have just gotten back from the urgent care clinic and I met with a really competent NP who made it clear that what she was seeing was not a bump, what she saw was a raw and irritated vaginal opening with a thick discharge that was more of a grey/yellowish color. She made it clear that she sees a lot of herpes in her office and my vaginal issues paled in comparison to what she sees on a regular basis.

I was prescribed diflucan, she still did a swap, she is checking for yeast, bv, trich, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Based on my consistent condom usage, she feels its either BV or yeast. We talked at length about herpes and though herpes is transferable even with condoms, she said my risk factor is not significant enough to warrant a test now. However, I could wait 10 more weeks to get an additional blood test.

I asked about oral transference, however, she was not able to offer actual percentages. She said that I need to assess that I am doing all I can to be safe and that I need to learn how to breath and stop thinking the worst.

I also have a gastrointestinal infection, along with an inner ear infection. I was given amoxicillin to try to kill of any bacteria that is wreaking my system. The NP threw in an extra diflucan pill just in case the amoxicillin made the vaginal irritation worse.

Right now that is all I have.
