Hello, I am a 20 yo female. So I went into urgent care with yeast like symptoms 4/28/16. The symptoms were recurring (itchy, immflamuation of the vulva with thick white discharge), and with my history of frequent "yeast infections" she did a cervical exam and took samples and tested for the following:
Vaginal pathogens DNA direct probes (candida species, gardnella vaginalis, trichomonas) - All negative
Treponema antibody, IGG (Syphillis) - Non reavtive
Hepatitis acute a, b, c panel - All negative
HIV Screening (4th gen) - non reactive
Chlamydia trachomatis and neisseria Gonorrhoeae, TMA AMPLIF - Both Negative
All symptoms proceeded off and on from the earlier date (4-28-16) till now. Some days less severe than others.
I experienced the same symptoms accompanied by flu like symptoms (sore throat, lymph nodes on neck swollen, itchy down there, painful urination probably due to itching and white discharge) on date 12-11-16 and then made an appointment with primary 12-21-16 and got vaginal pathogens dna direct probes ran through again with all negative. She ordered additional blood work (CBC, Urinalysis with microscopic exam culture if indicated, comprehensive metabolic panel, herpes simplex virus 1 & 2 antibodies IGG and IGM) and all came back negative except for HSV 1&2 IGM. Went in on 12-27-16 and also got swabbed and diagnosed for strep throat. I've been experiencing painful urination and white discharge off and on since the 12-11-16 incident.
My questions are, due to all stated above:
1. Did I likely get recently infected with a partner I had unprotected oral sex with (i was the giver) on 12-27-16?
2. Are all these symptoms and diagnosis of strep leading to most likely being infected with the virus? if so, does it sound like hsv1 or 2?
3. The positive IGM test was a low positive ringing in a value or 1.28, should I definitely get retested? If so, what test do you reccomend?
4. I've never had any lesions anywhere, with my symptoms, should I expect them to be internal outbreaks?
5. Do the herpes blood tests cross react with having chicken pox in the past? Or cross react with anything really?
Thank you all in advance for reading and responding to my post.
