more questions about herpes

I've been here before, so I'm sure some of you will recognize me, or at least in the information in my post. It's been quite a while since I last posted though. Anyhow, background info. I've had symptoms of pelvic pain for the last 2 years, tenderness around all of the bones, bruising feeling around vaginal opening, low back pain, all constant for the past 2 years. Been to several doctors who haven't a clue. On top of this, I constantly get small fissures in perineum area at random times. Maybe once a month, once every three months, or three different ones in one week. Saw a gynecologist to ask (again) about a blood test for herpes, and told for the 4th time now (all different doctors) there wasn't any point, as I already have herpes 1 (cold sores) which could cause a false positive for herpes 2. Or I could possibly have genital herpes 1, which still wouldn't give me an answer. This being told by a MD at a University hospital, so I'm inclined to believe her. I was told this wasn't true, that the test is 99.9% accurate or something, but after being told by 4 doctors I'm going to swing their way. I've had two cultures done, both negative. Fissures heal in a day or two if small. If larger 2-3 days. Not normally painful unless i stretch wrong, or urinate on them. I've requested to start Valtrex to see if I notice a decrease in the amount of fissures. Does anyone have any advice or anyone in a similar situation?

Re: more questions about herpes

Fissures in that area are not a symptom of herpes so I can understand why the doctors are steering you away from that idea. However, I would heve expected them to point you in another direction. The negative results of the cultures tend to rule out an infection so you might be better advised to look for some other cause of your pelvic symptoms.
When you talk about fissures, that suggests tearing of the skin rather than eruptions so are you using the right terminology?
There are many possible causes for your condition but you need a proper analysis of your symptoms, medical history and family history to determine the best path to follow.
