Why is it when you go to a new doctor or emergency room, it's automatically assumed you have herpes?

There's a lot of it about these days!  A test will prove which type you have so ask for one next time. Herpes Simplex is not the same as Herpes Zoster which the chicken pox virus.

I know I've researched the two

Lisa don't worry it's not you it's the doctor he just look at you if you are young I don't know why but to say he needs to change his ways how to treat a patient don't let that worry you be out spoken and let him know that bother you. You can tell someone how his behavior is. But stay calm .it's not you

Thank you, it's hurtful that it's automatically assumed that you have a std. But I I know better.

Herpes Simplex has the same display as Herpes Zoster too. It is using the same medication too. I am confused.

When the ER doc asked why I was there. I explained, she looked and said it didn't look like shingles. I had to explain it was only day 2 and I acted on it
