Suggest Treatment For Genital Herpes
Question: hi recently I've had a scare that I may have contracted genital herpes. I went to a hospital to get a culture test and a week later they said it is negative. during the waiting period I had strep throat before knowing I possibly could have genital herpes. the lab results were negative. I also went to a std/hiv center and my tests came back negative and the doctor assured me that what was on my penis was no way a herpe. but that's just his word. I got tested for HIV that was negative as well. I still need a follow up test at the std/hiv clinic. but results seem all negative. now my gf of almost 2 years is having white discharge and it hurts when she pees. she also has white little sores in her vag8na.. but honestly I feel it's due to the stress because of me cheating. is that a possibility. ?
Brief Answer:
Most likely not Herpes, can be bacterial infection
Detailed Answer:
Dear Patient,
since all the results of the testing for herpes were negative, it is very unlikely that you or your gf have herpes.
Your description of white discharge and pain peeing and white sores is more typical for a bacterial infection.
Your gf should get a urine test for bacterias in general and a swap test for chlamydia and gonorrhea just to make sure.
Herpes should have responded in above mentioned tests.
Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
