Urine test

[SkinJ]

Hi again. This time I think I have contracted Herpes for real. Itchy red, then blisters, now lymph nodes are on fire in groin region. Its very uncomfortable.

To remove doubts, not that I have many left, I have ordered a testing kit. According to the information around this kit it is based on a urine sample which you send away. It is meant to be accurate if you have symptoms. This is day 7 after oral sex given to me, I am male and I sure have symptoms.

The kit arrives tomorrow.

Are these kits accurate, or do I need to see a doctor too to confirm?

Any help appreciated.

Hi Grace,

Just been to the docs. She confirmed, even though the lesions are almost gone and so a sample cannot be taken that it sounds very much like H. She has taken a sample of blood away for testing.

Also waiting still for urine sample results. None looking good.

ordering a testing kit isn't the best thing to do. they are also incredibly over priced.

go and be seen and get a proper exam done.
