The truth is - you won't get any answers monday from a herpes standpoint. If the pills you've talked about were acyclovir, famvir or valtrex - going for a culture monday is a total waste of time because they won't be enough active virus shedding by that point for the culture to pick up on. No idea what cream you are talking about either. They should've cultured your blisters the day you were seen for them and they didn't so now it's too late. Get a blood test for herpes on monday along with a visual exam and then repeat the blood test in 3 months from the last time you had sex. Your partner should also get a blood test now to see what their status is.

had sex before the doctor looked inside the rectum had no problems on the outside it was all inside the rectum sex jan 13th while still hurting then exam was jan 15th
he looked in the rectum on jan 15th and the same day went to family doctor to get pills he said all i needed to do was use the cream i just need to know the truth
no just cream but two other doctors prescribes pills i have been taking them whats your take the doctor is culturing monday i still hurt and have takin pills three times a day since last tuesday
Waiting until monday to get the blisters cultured is way too late. Even if you could get them cultured today it's probably too late for an accurate herpes lesion culture. Did the doctor who originally suspected genital herpes in your anal area prescribe any medications for it?
When was the last time you had sex with anyone before you had your blood test?
