Has someone looked at this rash? I think it might be worth seeing someone about this and asking if is would be good to swab it for herpes simplex virus. It does look slightly blistery to me as well so better safe than sorry here. I doubt that it is but if you were my patient, I would probably swab test it given that 1) it looks somehow different than other rashes you’ve had 2) its a bit blistery looking, at least in the photo and 3) you’ve had a possible recent exposure to her.
Is she reluctant to do confirmatory testing because she has had symptoms consistent with genital herpes?
If you want to be the most certain, 16 weeks is the time. However, if you can get her to do a western blot and she is negative, then you won’t have to wait that long.
