I just got my results back today about an outbreak i had about 3 weeks ago and i was told to have BV, a yeast infection, and Genital Herpes, she did the swab test, but i dont know how accurate it is considering when i tried to ask questions about the test i couldnt get any answers. The nurse told me she could only give me my results so i dont know what to think or how to go about this.
The swab test is extremely accurate and looking at the photos in your previous posts I would say that it is herpes. It does get better over time though!
is this what a reoccurence looks like?
if the swab detected herpes, then you have herpes. it cant detect something that is not there. theres times when the test isnt 100% accurate, and that’s only when the sore was swabbed too late, and the fluid (which contains the virus) has dried up. Then you can get a false negative. you cannot get a false positive with a swab. that only happens with blood tests. you’ve also had sores as well which look like herpes. a lot of women get bv and yeast infections with their outbreaks. you will be ok and you’re still able to live a normal healthy life
Yes that’s a herpes outbreak I’m afraid! They get better over time though so don’t worry
