Terri, I uploaded a photo from this morning. Fyi the rash erupted 3 days ago and seems to be healing quickly. It was most bothersome the first day. I haven’t had a doctor look at. I’m hoping I can get away from work tomorrow to do that. I hope there is still something to swab at that point.

I also wanted to give you some more information. The last time I had sex with her or anyone else was 2/10. So it has been 30 days. A couple weeks later I felt nerve pain in my leg and developed a pimple like sore on my left kneecap. It didn’t look like a herpes sore. It was painful whenever my pants touched it, like nerve pain. It resolved after a few days. This recent issue im showing you pictures of started 3 days ago.

I also want to add that I developed a sore throat last night and my glands are a little swollen under my jaw and especially under my right arm. Keep in mind that I had an extreme bad reaction to cipro antibiotic a few years ago that really hurt my tendons and gut, so I do have a lot of little issues. I periodically have rashes.

To answer some of your other questions:
She says she has never had a break out ever and was surprised by the test. She says that her last partner was over 5 months ago and that is also the only unprotected sex she has had. She expects she squired both from him. She had symptoms of chlymidia, bleeding after sex and odor. That is what prompted the tests. I think I can get her to do the WB. I just need to get a chance to show her some of the information from this site.

Question 1. You said I should swab it, but you also said you doubt it’s herpes. Can you please tell me why you doubt it’s herpes. That information would really interest me.

Question 2. Does the information about the last time we had sex, 30 days ago, and the onset of symptoms sound like herpes?

Question 3. Do you think there is still a good chance she is a false positive if she never had hsv1, chicken pox etc.?
