Reply To: Symptoms but how?

[Littleconcerned]

Hello, I renewed. My partner has been tested via igg and was negative. Leading me to believe I was probably positive before him so I reached out to past partners just to hear they’ve had no symptoms so they’ve been tested as well after hearing my diagnosis which came back negative. My swabs aren’t detecting hsv even on fresh lesions so I’m at a loss.

1. Could it be possible that I’m just not positive even with my test? I preferred doing swabs since I’ve noticed you said they’re least likely to be false positive which I’ve done 4 times and not detect hsv.

2. I’ve gotten these nonpainful cuts semi-monthly when using always pads so I only used tampons with no issues, is it possible I’m just having allergic reactions?

3. I had one ulcer on my labia majora when I shaved and scratched and it remained unchanged for over 10 days then I got a few sores on my labia minora that went away in 2 days. Is it possible to have a recurrence be longer than primary? If infected my primary would’ve been a single lesion lasting 3 days.

4. If everyone I had sex with is negative and I’m positive would that just make me a carrier?

5. I’m not in pain with anything, the sores come and go with no medication. I just have had a constant thick discharge for a year, Does herpes cause a resistant yeast infection along with bv?

6. I know it’s not possible to have genital hsv1 because I never once received oral, so I’m not sure what else it could be unless I’m truly positive.
