Question:
My ex-husband recently notified me that he was diagnosed with herpes. He had been in the hospital a few months before the diagnosis of herpes and was told he had a staph infection in the genital area. He 2 weeks later got another staph infection. Then he went overseas and was told that the doctors had misdiagnosed him and he really had herpes. Of course, he blamed me, and said I was the carrier. I talked to several gynecolgists and they all said that since I hadn't had any symptons or outbreaks, not to worry about it. Ever since my ex and I had gotten together I notice that I was getting boils along my panty line. Well, I was experiencing some pain from what I originally thought was another boil. However, this boil is slightly different. It looks more like a blister, it popped open on its own because of the area it is in (right on the inside of my thigh at my panty line). The liquid that seemed to drain out of it is clear in color and then bled very mildly. I have never gotten "sores" on my actual genital area. Could this be genital herpes? Or am I being paranoid. I was told by the doctors that the sores would be on genitals themselves. I have never had any itching or pain. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:
You need to go see a doctor and get a blood test... it could be herpes... it could not be...

when I called my doc about being told I could have herpes... she told me that since I hadn't had symptoms I really shouldn't worry... but to come get tested anyway... and I did... and I have it... not everyone has typical or noticable symptoms... I haven't had any that I am aware of... but I test positive... thus have herpes...

go get tested... at if you don't have it then it will at least ease your mind...
