QSo its been a whole year and a half,maybe a little longer. I went to the hospital because 3 days after I had unprotected sex with a male friend, I aquired painful white sores near my anus and close to my vagina.. the doctor told me to him it looked like hsv 2. He prescribed me valtrex..the sores always cleared up within a week after taking these meds. I had burning and tingling on my buttocks and the back of my thighs..lower back pain but he said all of that is common with hsv2. I haven't gotten checked yet but am soon.. I think I just haven't because I'm scared its somthing else. But I keep getting frequent YIs and this time around it was a few days after my period I got one..my discharge was a very offwhite mixed with a litttttle bit of light brown.. I've done some reasearch but here are my questions..
Q1. Can hiv be mistaken for herpes, in other words do you think I have hiv instead of what my doctors opinion was?
Q2. Can herpes cause frequent YIs?
Q3. I know the only way to rule out hiv is too get tested but does it sound like I could have it?
