For the past 6 months ive had vaginal issues. Vaginal burning with no sores or infection. There is no burning when i pee. Tested negative for STD's. They never did a herpes blood test. The past week or so the burning came back. I also get burning type sensations all over my body (breasts, back, feet, anus...pretty much everywhere). My eyes have been burning, i have a lil bit of a sore throat. Can i be having a herpes outbreak without getting the sores?

These all over body symptoms do not sound related to herpes in any way and unlikely to be related to your vaginal issues.

Are you seeking medical advice for these symptoms? You could certainly requst a herpes blood test, but I’d suggest your issues are independent of herpes.

Thank u. I just went to the doctor again. If these tests are negative they will do a blood test for herpes bc i did have a small cut but there was no pain. I was tested pretty extensively for other things like MS and lime disease a few yrs ago when i was having weird symptoms.

I have the exact same issues. I tested positive for hsv1 but I do have an oral infection that I’ve had for about 15 years. Tested positive for many bacterial infections. I recently had a “pimple” down there that I got swabbed and it came back negative. It was a single pimple so I wasn’t overly worried about it. Is your problem recurring? Because mine is. Goes away for a week and it comes back for 3 or 4 weeks. Then goes away for a week and back again. Like clockwork since November. Still struggling to find answers from my gynecologist. They are telling me that these issues are not herpes related but I am having trouble understanding what else it could be. I feel your pain. I will tell you from personal experience that obsessing over it being herpes has hindered my life extensively and I’m currently living in fear every single day. Do not obsess on this website because it has only made my anxiety worse and here I still am. I’m a 27 year old otherwise healthy female. I have never had issues until my current boyfriend. He tests negative for herpes. I do feel like they may be just our bodies disagreeing. Are you in a sexually active relationship?

I am in a sexually active relationship. I think sometimes i cause these symptoms bc i stress about it all the time. I just got an hiv test in March which was negative and these symptoms have me freaking out that i might need another test.

Why do you think you would have HIV?

I have read all of these posts and real feel for u. I felt the same a d still experience fear and worry about my diagnosis. Alli can say is this could be from various health issues not herpes. But wither way u know your own body and know something is wrong. The key in my opinion is a good dr. Try see a physician as they have good diagnostic skills and may be able to piece the symptoms together 

@Xmk224 your post was refreshing as what u describe in terms of constant worry is how i have lived for years. Thank u for u honesty and words.

I feel for you as I have the same anxieties. For months it was only googling about herpes. Now it’s herpes and HIV. We are in a super similar boat and it’s dibilitating. If you ever want to talk please message me.

      @WilsoInAus do you really thing that above my symptoms are Herpes related? Or it may because of Herpes zoster shingles? Bcz of this my Igm is positive?
    • Nameshame
      @WilsoInAus i requested my partner, but they are refusing from testing and saying they dint had any symptoms. Now the only way i left is to wait untill 12 weeks window period right? I am not getting what to do in this case. Any suggestion for any other tests?

      Hi "Jeremy"..... I agree, the topic of your HSV status does not need to be something you disclose too soon in a developing relationship..... get to know each other first....see how it's going and as it progresses, then the HSV issue will naturally need to be revealed.... it's my personal opinion though that before there is any sexual encounter you ought to disclose your HSV status.... I know some will disagree with me on this but, I think it is morally wrong not to disclose first.  This can be a make/break situation for most people but, again, I feel it is simply wrong not to give the other person the whole story since your decision not to disclose could put their health at risk.... that is simply not an option in my opinion.  Looking back to my "pre-HSV" life I most certainly would want my partner to disclose their HSV+ status before intimacy so that I could make my decision as to whether I want to take that risk or not....

      Thanks, CHT. I appreciate the feedback. The whole trauma of going through this has led me to figure out a lot about myself and my attachment wounds, so I'm taking courses to come out of this better. This girl really was my dream woman in so many ways, it's been the hardest heartbreak to deal with ever. I'm truly in a lot of pain, but using the pain as fuel to launch that new business and work with coaches. I also opened up to my family about HSV, so my parents and sister know now, and they were very loving and accepting of it. Since opening up about it, I feel way better around this thing. After opening up, I also found out that some mutual friends in our family have discordant couples who are married with children, so HSV hasn't stopped them from living a loving life. The thing is... all of these couples I mention did not disclose until 6-8 months into the relationship. So now I'm thinking it might be better not to disclose until I know things are very serious. I'll of course stay on the medication and use protection, but maybe this is a better route than disclosing upfront and scaring women off.

      Hey @Lcj987 and welcome to the website. You can be sure that isn't HSV-2, looks nothing like it. It is much more likely to be folliculitis or inflamed fordyce spots.
