Question:
Im new to this. I am in my early 20's. This whole week Ive been dealing with depression wondering what my results are going to be.... My culture came out negative. I am waiting for the herpes select blood test. Im really scared because Im in a new relationship. About 3 days after my boyfriend and I had sex, I was having a hard time after urination and it hurt to wipe. So I looked in the mirror and noticed my labia was really swollen and I had a yellow lesion. Are herpes yellow? My doctor says he still thinks its herpes. Oh and also I have a case of yeast infections so I am being treated for that, he also said my PH level is not balanced and gave me something for that as well. Hopefully I get the blood test result tomorrow. Reading up on it, I get a better understanding, its just the fact that I may have infected someone I cared about or maybe he infected me but people dont understand. He got really mad at me because I told him my result was negative and he swore hes been tested. Sometimes I wonder if hes lying or if hes scared too but wont admit it. Because people are quick to admit theyve been tested for everything. I always wonder if I had it before and didnt know it.

I have a few questions, hopefully someone can help.

1) Are herpes lesions Yellow?

2) I read about itching...Do you itch after your outbreaks and if so where exactly do you itch? (Im experiencing itching but its not anywhere near my labia, lips or anythign like that its as if I shaved and) hair is growing back)

3) Does anyone have any photos? (Everywhere I look, the cases are so extreme)

Answer:
Is it painful? If you are getting any of the symptoms then I think you need to see a doctor:

• swollen lymph glands
• painful inflamed blisters develop around infected area
• headache
• muscle ache
• fever
• vaginal o discharge
• infection of the urethra causing a burning sensation during urination
• a burning sensation in the genitals
• lower back pain
• small red bumps may appear in the genital area following earlier symptoms, later developing into painful blisters, which crust over, form a scab, and heal.

Let me tell you that herpes has no cure and can only be controlled via anti-viral medicines……I have been taking Acicvir; http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s319-s-ACICVIR.aspx since 5 years. 60% of people having this disease are not aware that the have it……so please consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Answer:
So the blood work came back positive. I have the antibodies for it. So now what? Im guessing I had it in the past. Now what? What do I tell my new boyfriend. Obviously my first outbreak was with him. Otherwise I probably wouldnt have known. Hes 12 years older than me too.
