Two months ago after two days of a lot of sex with my ex (who I now know had another gf) I noticed I was very swollen after sex, this lasted for almost a full week after the episode- also had burning and itching. Went to gyn but tested neg for yeast, bacteria chlamydia, gonerrhea ect and doc didn't think it was herpes so she didn't test. It went away but when I had sex again the same thing happened, pretty much felt fine till I had sex and then would pay for it for days with burning and severe swelling, I think I had some minimal swelling at all times but nothing like after sex. Went to another gyn in same practice, who also agreed it didn't sound like herpes but agreed to test me anyway and also retested all the ones done previous. I tested positive this time for yeast and also for herpes type 2 both Igg and igm, doctor gave me diflucan (itching went away after that) and said I had contracted herpes prob within the last few months, gave me 10 days of 1 gram twice a day of acyclovir followed by 500mg once day after that for prevention. During the 10 days I noticed no change in swelling, although I wasn't having sex I could tell inner labia was not it's normal size (looked fat/plump/engorged and red), some discharge, I didn't have any burning or anything though during this time. The day I switched to the 500 mg dose (yesterday) the burning came back, the discharge is still there, and the swelling the same. I have never had blisters, mostly swelling and burning (but not standard herpes symptoms), this has not resolved after 2 full months (I didn't think herpes went that long for outbreak) and from what I understand these are low results (posted below) so I ask your thoughts as my doc basically said there is no such thing as low positive, you have herpes, the me and will help but it didn't and now I'm symptomatic without sex. Would I benefit from retesting? If not herpes tho then what is causing this?
