If not herpes... then what? - Herpes Message Board

I was forced to have nonconsensual sex in March and I had an outbreak of something shortly after that (about a month later). I had the sores swabbed and cultured and both times the cultures came back negative. I also had 3 blood tests each a month apart. All came back negative. The doctor told me she could not diagnose the problem. The sores eventually cleared and I have not had an outbreak until a month ago. I had two bumps that looked like whiteheads on my vagina just above the outer labia. Those bumps turned into sores that healed and now I have two more in my pubic area (pelvis). They are itchy and painful. Some look like pimples, others are open, crater-like sores. They are very small.

I have a doctor appointment tomorrow morning with an obgyn, so I'm hoping they will be able to better diagnose the symptoms.

Any ideas as to what this might be?

Honestly It Sounds Like Herpes To Me You Have To Get The Swab Test When Sores Are Fresh And Have The Herpes Select Test. I Would Investigate It Further. I Kept Having Same Problem And My Test Kept Coming Out Neg Until 4/08 I Tested Positive For Hsv1 And Hsv2 . You Could Be Asymptomatic. I Pray For You Its Not This Virus Sucks AND THE SADDEST THING IS IT AFFECTS 90% OF THE POPULATION AND THEY DONT KNOW IT. GOOD LUCK I WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND A VACCINE.

hey idk a whole lot about STD's and stuff but I mean it also sounds like it could be a staph infection. Some people hear that and think no way because your body reacts so quickly to it but if you're fairly healthy you could very well only get a few bumps every now and then. the fact that it's in that area could be because of the "contact". but if not it also could be syphilis or a chancroid. But probably not so look at the staph thingy
