I am wondering if i am experiencing a herpes primary outbreak on the cervix

I went for a swab due to having lower back pain and stomach pain. I initially thought that I was having a uti but when my urine was clean they decided to give a swab. The ER dr noticed an inflamed cervix that was very red. She did not see any lesions

She told me I tested negative for all STIS including BV. She says the discharge is. Coming fromy cervix and can possibly be a bacteria that they haven't picked up. She gave me a doxy shot and prescribe Flagyl to kill the bacteria

I am wondering is it possible to experience these symptoms of herpes without having lesions. I was diagnosed witj cervicitis and from what I researched this is caused by STIs. I did not test for herpes which is the only sti left that causes this.

They can give you a blood test to see if you have either type of HSV, then give you an antivirals to see if that'll help the pain go away! The symptoms other than an outbreak are flu like, but I think it can be different for everyone. Wish I could be more helpful!

I went to the doctor because I had some slight burning. I also had excessive watery discharge, but I didn't relate it to anything because I was overseas with no AC (extremely hot). I thought I had BV.

The NP told me that my cervix was slightly inflamed and she didn't see any visible lesions. She recommend tests for STIs, but didn't think I had anything. (eyeroll)

The NP called the first time and told me my results were negative, but called me back later the same day and told me I was positive due to my igM number (1.11). Two weeks later my IgM number increased to 1.26. However, my IGG antibodies haven't yet formed and were even lower due to Valtrex.

Have you had unprotected sex/oral recently?

I'd certainly go get a blood test from your doctor. However, if you had a recent exposure, you could be like me... waiting in limbo. It can take up to 16 weeks for the results to turn positive.

Hey the last time I had sex was over 3 months ago

I'd get tested to be sure.

I've read, your first outbreak is usually within 2-10 days of acquiring the virus.

If it has been three months since you have had sex, you might show some IGG antibodies.

You're the first person I have read on this forum that has symptoms similar to mine.

However, I haven't been confirmed because of my IgG antibodies. I've read that IgM are unreliable. However, I'm not feeling to confident since my IgM numbers increased.

Hoping for the best for you! ((hugs))

How long were your symptoms happening? I've read that the symptoms for herpes does not last for 3 months. Mine has been persisting for 3 months and no lesions

I can't pin point when it started. if I had to guess I'd say over 3/4 weeks, until I got medication.

She originally gave me oral medication for BV. There were days, I felt completely normal and then days, I say, it's back. After she called and told me I was positive she prescribed me 1gm of Valtrax for 10 days.

Like you, when she observed me, she didn't find any lesions. She only found my cervix was irritated and inflamed.

I can't recall which medication I was taking , but one night I was laying in bed and I felt EXTREME sharp pain in my stomach. I only had it once.

Mine sounds almost exactly like your symptoms with the exception of the time frame. However,my tests results show positive and I was given the medication for that result.

I also have read other people, like yourself, find they are having a long lasting symptoms or recurrent outbreaks.

Do you ever feel "normal" ?

How long have you been taking the antibiotic? I guess I would be concerned, if it hasn't cleared and you finished your antibiotic.

That would be a suggestion. Maybe I will go and get tested for herpes. I just started the antibiotics and some days I would feel normal and other days I will not

Maybe you should retest because I've been reading that IGM is very unreliable. The CDC does not recommend this to be a standard test

Also are you still having symptoms

My discharge was green instead of watery

And also I've been reading expert opinions and I've read where herpes symptoms that last out for 3-4 weeks is a strong suggestion of no herpes

Did you get copy of your test results?

Green discharge isn't associated with herpes.

I saw you went to the ER.

Have you been to a OBGYN?

I'm waiting to hear from OBGYn. I went to the ER for faster response

She told me all test wet negative. Trich, bv, chlamydia Gonnerrhea yeast. I did not do a herpes test. I will ask the gyno of herpes was included in the swab on Monday

Yes, You're right. IgM only indicates that I have a current herpes infection. It can take up to 16 weeks for the IgG results to become positive, since the exposure.

I had symptoms for 3/4 weeks, but valtrex helps reduce symptoms and shortens the OB time.

I will be having my 3rd retest at the beginning of September.

Swab will not show anything for Herpes. It has to be sore and they take samples of fluid. They will draw your blood, and send it to be tested. You will get the IgM and IgG results.

I've read your post and although they say that you should wait for 3 months your IGg is reliable and you should retest again at 3 months for a conclusive results

The PCR does not detect the discharge?

Are you still having symptoms

No symptoms currently, probably due to the Valtrax. It suppresses the virus.

You can search if they can do a swab on the cervix. However, when she swabbed me it only tested for other STI's.

The blood test is the most accurate for Herpes.

Oh OK we're you on Valtrex when you tested initially

Initially , I wasn't. She didn't prescribe Valtrex till my result came back positive.

The second test, I was still on 1MG of Valtrex.

Now, I'm on suppressive therapy at 500mg daily.

I want to reduce the risk of passing this on to my family, especially my child.

I'd go ahead and ask the OBGYN for Valtrex. It wouldn't hurt.

My child has gotten a cold, I can feel it coming on. So my immune system must lowered. I'm about to see if I have a outbreak, or I could never know since mine could be internal.

Plus, I'm curious is mine is also oral. I haven't show any signs, but that doesn't mean I don't have it. :(

You can't pass herpes on to your child. It. Is in the sex region. I don't think you have herpes. IGM is unreliable. Do you have visible sores or anything on the cervix
