ulcer looking things on vagina Tests Have Come Back Negative Posted: 09-01-07 19:17pm
Question: I had a one night stand on 07-31
unprotected sex. About 5 days later
started having very irritated vagina and
fullness/heaviness feeling there. I saw a
little red sore on the inner part of my
opening. Not painful though. Went to the
dr. exactly one week after the sex and got
checked out for gonnarhea, chlymidia, from
a swab, blood test for HIV and hepatitis.
It all came back negative. A few days
later I had extreme irritation like
ingrown hairs on my vagina, the (genital
lips) I noticed flat barely noticable
ulcer looking sores about 3 around the
opening to my vagina. I called the dr
again and had her look. She said I look
normal. She did a blood test for herpes
and it came back negative for both herpes
1&2. This blood test was taken 3 weeks
after the unprotected sex. I still have
the ulcer looking things and major
discomfort. I think it is affecting my
anus too. It feels like hemmoroids. I
don't know if any of the test results
would have been different if I waited. I
need advice.

A blood test would only come up positive
if it were at least 12 weeks after
infection. It tests for antibodies in your
system, it's unusual that your doctor
would do that knowing that you'd come up
negative as not enough time has passed.
Did she do a swab test? This is more
accurate, that is if done when symptoms
first present themselves.
