herpes blood test
About two weeks ago, I had a case of BV and then an episode of yeast. My dr gave me vaginal suppositories for both. The medication made my vulvar region extremely swollen and a few bumps appeared. This occurred with severe itching/burning. These bumps are skin colored and have no fluid or pus. I went back into the dr and her nurse practitioner said they might be herpes. I freaked out because I didn't think I was at risk, and here I am halfway through pregnancy. My bumps are not clustered and look like the normal white spots on the vulva but enlarged. I took a blood test for herpes 1 &2 the next morning. That's been almost two weeks. The itching/swelling/burning has greatly decreased but still have some bumps. These haven't really changed much. No oozing, no scabbing. What could this be? How long does it take to get herpes test results? Since it's been almost two weeks (and the lab they use is pretty fast) should I assume it was negative results since I haven't received a phone call?
It only takes a few days to get results usually. The fact that your bumps haven't changed in almost two weeks is a very good sign. Herpes lesions progress quickly.
Sounds more like a reaction than herpes
